“Minutes ago in the courthouse behind me, the United States District Judge Brian Cogan sentenced Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán to life without the possibility of parole, plus 30 years. This sentence is significant and it is well deserved. It means that never again will Guzmán pour poison over our borders, making billions while innocent lives are lost to drug violence and drug addiction.” “It didn’t make a difference what the jury saw, what they said, what they discussed, what they voted on. At the end of the day, all that mattered was the government’s evidence, no matter how flawed it may have been, no matter how many lunatics and sociopaths and psychopaths that it depended on. All that mattered was the evidence and the jury be damned.”
