Finally. The flow of cocaine to the US will stop. If only they picked up Ochoa 5 years ago. Think of all the children that wouldn't have used cocaine. Come to think of it, why didn't they just burn him in his house down there, it would have saved the gas and the plane lease to get him here. Now the US has to pay $30,000/yr to keep him locked up. I'm so happy to live in a country that stands for justice.
