On January 29, 2019, his lawyers made theirs... in about a half-hour. The only witness called by the defense was FBI agent Paul Roberts, who in February 2017 interviewed Jorge Cifuentes, one of Guzman's cocaine suppliers who is jailed in the US and testified against his former boss.Guzman's legal team put Roberts -- who took notes during that interview -- on the stand to try to undermine the credibility of Cifuentes, one of the main witnesses against the 61-year-old onetime Sinaloa cartel boss.

Sprechen Sie ihn in allen Punkten schuldig“, appellierte Staatsanwältin Andrea Goldbarg am Mittwoch (Ortszeit) an die Geschworenen. Die Anklage habe seit Prozessbeginn Mitte November „eine Flut von Beweisen“ gegen Guzmán vorgelegt, ergänzte sie in dem sechsstündigen Schlussplädoyer. dpa
