El Chapo

Jesus Garcia, who covered the trial incessantly, expertly maps out how this case was built and El Chapo's time before the court played out. It's a bittersweet tale. It would perhaps be worse if such a high-profile drug lord had escaped justice. But considering the horror of the violence in Mexico over the last two decades it doesn't seem enough. In part because of the trial, senior politicians and generals have also been arrested on trafficking charges, as Jesus details, so perhaps we are getting closer to real justice.

Jess Garca, quien cubri el juicio incesantemente, traza de manera experta cmo se construy este caso y el tiempo que "El Chapo" estuvo ante el tribunal. Es una historia agridulce. Aunque quizs sera peor si un narcotraficante de tan alto perfil hubiera escapado de la justicia. Sin embargo, considerando el horror de la violencia en Mxico en las ltimas dos dcadas, este juicio no parece suficiente. En parte por el proceso en s mismo, aunado a que polticos de alto rango y generales tambin han sido arrestados por cargos de narcotrfico, como detalla Jess, aunque quizs estemos acercndonos al verdadero concepto de la justicia.
