“The decision seems like it was decided and written before the argument even occurred,” one of Guzman’s lawyers, Jeffrey Lichtman, said in a statement Tuesday. “How can there be justice here when the jury was exposed to scurrilous claims against Mr. Guzman which were not part of the government’s case?”

Conviction of Mexican drug lord 'El Chapo' upheld by U.S. appeals courtNEW YORK (Reuters) -A U.S. appeals court on Tuesday upheld the drug trafficking conviction of Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, rejecting his argument that jurors improperly followed the case in the media during his blockbuster trial. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan also rejected several other arguments Guzman raised in seeking a new trial, including that his jail conditions were deplorable and that the U.S. government selectively targeted him for prosecution. 'I'm sure Mr. Guzman will seek Supreme Court review,' the defendant's lawyer Marc Fernich said in an email.
