Good. For the record, I heard some wondered why it was taking 4 days of jury deliberation on him.

I read an article and there were something like sub-charges or conditions to the charges that probably added some deliberation time. I couldn't imagine him being found not guilty. There were a few twists in the trial. I thought anyone really interested could read it for themselves, he's a big boor responsible for a lot of violence and death in the US as well. Unfortunately, someone can take his place....

But allegedly, he really started the bloody drug war in Mexico by trying to take over the Juarez corridor or plaza near El Paso, prime territory to smuggle drugs in. They use to just pay a toll to smuggle I understand but he got tired of that. Chapo being from far Western Mexico in Sinaloa where Mazatlan is located.

Notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman convicted

 | February 12, 2019 12:45 PM



NEW YORK — Mexico's most notorious drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, was convicted Tuesday of running an industrial-scale smuggling operation after a three-month trial packed with Hollywood-style tales of grisly killings, political payoffs, cocaine hidden in jalapeno cans, jewel-encrusted guns and a naked escape with his mistress through a tunnel.

Guzman faced a drumbeat of drug-trafficking and conspiracy convictions that could put the 61-year-old escape artist behind bars for decades in a maximum-security U.S. prison selected to thwart another one of the breakouts that embarrassed his native country.

New York jurors whose identities were kept secret reached a verdict after deliberating six days in the expansive case, sorting through what authorities called an "avalanche" of evidence gathered since the late 1980s that Guzman and his murderous Sinaloa drug cartel made billions in profits by smuggling tons of cocaine, heroin, meth and marijuana into the U.S.

Would YOU have been a juror on this case?

With the government "promising" to keep your identity "secret"?

No thanks.
