Guzmán, 61, was convicted of 10 counts, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, conspiracy to launder narcotics proceeds, international distribution of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and other drugs, and use of firearms.

He faces a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole for leading a continuing criminal enterprise, and a sentence of up to life imprisonment on the remaining drug counts.

Federal prosecutors said they will seek a forfeiture judgment for billions of dollars constituting the cartel's illegal drug-trafficking proceeds.

One of Guzmán's lawyers described him as "extremely upbeat" after the verdict.

"He's a fighter," defense attorney Michael Lambert said. "He's not done yet by far."

I wonder if he'll try to escape again.

He is one of the people I would support the death penalty to prevent the things he could still do from prison.

Why? Killing him wont stop tunnels being built, or 200 tons of heroin/cocaine being pushed into the United States.

This is how I feel about El Chapo:

Replace "Terrorist states" With "Mexican Drug Cartels" and you'll see my point....

Agreed but one less head is one less head and with drug cartels we might actually be able to confiscate a lot of money which we could then funnel into drug and mental health programs, education, and the like.

That won't stop until we do something effective about the black market.
But El Chapo is all too capable of continuing his murderous ways from prison. I cannot help believing that a few innocent people won't get murdered or terrorized if he gets a public execution.
