A panel of appellate judges on Tuesday upheld the 2019 conviction of notorious Mexican drug cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, rejecting his assertions that he was treated unfairly.In their decision, the three judges ruled that US District Judge Brian Cogan, who oversaw Guzmán's federal case in Brooklyn, conducted the three-month trial "with diligence and fairness, after issuing a series of meticulously crafted pretrial rulings".Guzmán was convicted in 2019 of 10 counts, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, drug trafficking and firearms charges.
