Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's attorneys filed a motion asking the court to review possible misconduct in light of a report that some jurors violated the judge's prohibition against following news coverage of the Mexican drug lord's federal trial
New York Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzman's attorneys filed a motion Tuesday asking the court to review possible misconduct in light of a report that some jurors violated the judge's prohibition against following news coverage of the Mexican drug lord's federal trial as it unfolded.
In their motion, Guzman's lawyers seek a hearing and possibly a new trial on the allegations of misconduct spelled out in a February 20 Vice News report, which hinged on an interview with one juror. That juror, who was not identified, claimed that"at least five fellow jurors violated the judge's orders by following the case in the media during the trial," according to Vice News.
