Guzman, 61, listened to guilty verdicts on drug and conspiracy charges that could put him behind bars for decades in a max- imum-security U.S. prison selected to thwart another one of the breakouts that made him a folk hero in his native country. A jury whose members’ identities were kept secret as a security measure reached a verdict after deliberating six days in the expansive case. They sorted through what authorities called an “avalanche” of evidence gathered since the late 1980s that Guzman and his mur- derous Sinaloa drug cartel made billions in profits by smuggling tons of cocaine, heroin, meth and marijuana into the U.S. As the judge read the ver- dict, Guzman stared at the jury, and his wife watched the scene, both with resig- nation in their faces. When the jurors were discharged and Guzman stood to leave the courtroom, the couple traded thumbs-ups. U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan lauded the jury’s meticulous attention to detail and the “remarkable” approach it took toward deliberations. Cogan said it made him “very proud to be an American.” Evidence showed drugs poured into the U.S. through secret tunnels or hidden in tanker trucks, concealed in the undercarriage of pas- senger cars and packed in rail cars passing through legitimate points of entry — suggesting that a border wall wouldn’t be much of a worry. The prosecution’s case against Guzman, a roughly 5½-foot figure whose nick- name translates to “Shorty,” included the testimony of several turncoats and other witnesses. Among them were Guzman’s former Sinaloa lieutenants, a com- puter encryption expert and a Colombian cocaine supplier who underwent extreme plastic surgery to disguise his appearance. One Sinaloa insider described Mexican workers getting contact highs while packing cocaine into thou- sands of jalapeno cans — shipments that totaled 25 to 30 tons of cocaine worth $500 million each year.
