The near-mythical drug lord now faces life in prison
Jurors heard more than 200 hours of testimony from 56 witnesses (though notably not from Guzmán himself) over the course of the roughly two-and-a-half-month trial in Brooklyn
It included testimony from a fellow cartel member who claimed that Guzmán once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
Guzman, 61, will be sentenced on June 25. He faces the possibility of life in prison.
Here's the full list of counts:
- Engaging in a Continuing Criminal Enterprise
- International Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine and Marijuana Manufacture and Distribution Conspiracy
- Cocaine Importation Conspiracy
- Cocaine Distribution Conspiracy
- International Distribution of Cocaine
- International Distribution of Cocaine
- International Distribution of Cocaine
- International Distribution of Cocaine
- Use of Firearms
- Conspiracy to Launder Narcotics Proceeds

I hope he has billions of dollars . . . and that President Trump can use that money to build the Wall. I want all 1900 miles done by the end of this fiscal year.

But wait, isnt there a chance of rehabilitation? Maybe there is a work release program for him? He should apologize--all would be forgiven. /s

"The Cartel is some nasty business..." Let's hope they never find out that SEAN PENN set up El Chapo. If it ever got out that SEAN PENN was responsible for blowing El Chapo's cover, the cartel would probably try to come after SEAN PENN. SEAN PENN's safety could be greatly jeopardized.

What’s the problem? He was just another mexicano filling a void in the US economy doing a job American’s didn’t want to do. (Isn’t that right, W?)

I’m wondering when that congress critter with the big teeth (OCS) will reject this sentence.
El Chapo is just another Native American who was targeted by ICE.
