U.S. prosecutors claim 'El Chapo' had unauthorized contact with wife

How can the US Government protect these jurors when they can't even prevent El Chapo from having sex with his wife while in Custody? The DOJ at its finest!

U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday claimed that a lawyer for Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who is currently on trial in Brooklyn federal court, helped arrange unauthorized contact between the accused Mexican drug lord and his wife, Emma Coronel.

Prosecutors said in Tuesday’s motion that some people, whose names were redacted, “appear to have used cellular telephones in concert with an attorney visit to the defendant following two trial days last week to facilitate unauthorized and, under the SAMs, impermissible contact between the defendant and Ms. Coronel.”

Security is so stringent that Guzman was not even allowed a brief hug with Coronel at the outset of the trial.



Judge scolded the defense and noted that El Chapo's wife isn't supposed to have a phone inside the courthouse at all. Judge called it "unacceptable."



Second instance of gov't expressing concern about El Chapo's wife trying to photograph witness Miguel Angel Martinez aka El Gordo.

The court took special precautions to keep his face from being seen outside the courtroom. Sketch artists couldn't draw him.

"Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Juror 73 said other members of the jury pool were actively plotting ways to avoid serving on the case. She said several people complained about the U.S. government wasting resources to put El Chapo on trial. And she said that, despite heavy security at the courthouse, a “random guy” was able to barge into a room where the jurors were gathered."

"Despite the precautions, Juror 73 said there was an awkward moment when a man she described as “really bizarre” entered the room where everyone was gathered and started asking how to join the jury pool."

“He asked one of the guys in the back, ‘I want to be on this jury. Can I be on this jury?’” she recalled. “I don’t know how he got in. I thought maybe he was a reporter. He knew first of all that we were all there for that. And he kept saying ‘How does one get on this jury? I want to serve.’ We all were kind of looking at each like ‘He’s crazy.’ We’re here here because we were summoned to be here and he’s volunteering.”

Vice: So the Jury has already been compromised by a strange man who asked to be on the jury.

Taking volunteers is probably as good a method as any to fill the out the jury. There’s a lot of strange people who would probably wait in line to get on the jury for such a high profile case.

Chapo's lawyers filed legal docs, objecting to the federal prosecutors' motion to keep jurors anonymous

What is the reasoning they are trying to argue against this?

quote:

Chapo's lawyers beg to differ, saying sequestering the jury will "create the extremely unfair impression that he is a dangerous person from whom the jury must be protected."

Have these guys not heard of Ronald Hughes?

If they frick up they could be dead too.

Time to treat them like a terror group and throw the gloves away.

Someone else will always take the leader's place. Keep killing the next one. Before long, it won't seem as savory a position.
