AP: Notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman convicted
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.
Though he won’t be officially sentenced until June, Guzman faces a mandatory sentence of life behind bars without any chance of parole.
