Notorious drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s conviction on charges of running a multibillion-dollar narcotics trafficking operation was upheld Tuesday by a federal appeals court in New York. In an opinion filed Tuesday morning, a three-judge panel for the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a host of arguments Chapo’s lawyers raised in an effort to overturn his conviction. Potential juror misconduct was among the arguments raised by his attorneys after an unnamed panelist spoke to Vice News and claimed members of the panel had followed media coverage of the case during the trial.
