El Chapo Sentenced To Life In Prison
Drug Lord “El Chapo” Guzman has been sentenced to life behind bars in a U.S. prison! A federal judge in Brooklyn sentenced him today, five months after Guzman’s conviction in a huge drug-trafficking case.
The drug lord who is now 62 was brought to trial in the United States, after he escaped twice from a Mexican prison. Before he was sentenced, El Chapo complained about the conditions of his jail cell and and told the judge he was denied a fair trial. He said Judge Brian Cogan failed to investigate claims of juror misconduct. The guilty verdict in February at El Chapo’s 11-week trial triggered a mandatory sentence of life without parole .
