Prosecutors in the case against Joaquin Guzman Lora, briefly called El Chapo, have demanded armed security and preserving the full anonymity of the jury for the sake of their safety.
This is due to the fact that, in the past, El Chapo, who has been considered the head of the Sinaloa cartel for 30 years, has influenced witnesses and jurors, and has also led a criminal group responsible for the deaths of thousands of people .
Joaquin Guzman's ado, however, indicates that his client has promised not to kill any of the jury's trial.
Wanting an armed guard from and to the room, as well as preserving the anonymity of the jury, it sends a signal to them that my client is guilty and dangerous, says Adv. Eduardo Balazero.
Against El Chapo, a total of 17 counts are expected, including kidnapping, murder, drug trafficking, and more.
