July 13th -  A judge last month pushed back the singer`s trial. Banton, who is accused of a drug charge, had his case pushed back from June 21st to September.

But his lawyer is arguing that the rescheduling for the second time violates the federal Speedy Trial Act, which generally requires trials to begin within 70 days after a defendant`s first court appearance.

Banton, born Mark Anthony Myrie, 36, was arrested on Dec. 10, 2010. If convicted, he could face up to life in prison.
