High Times:
El Chapo drug Kingpin guilty.
...many doubted that Mexican kingpin El Chapo would ever come to justice for the crimes committed by his vast drug empire. But today, jury members at a federal district court in Brooklyn found Joaquín Guzmán Loera guilty on all 10 counts, leaving the cartel boss facing a life sentence.

At times, court proceedings took a dramatic turn best likened to one of Mexico’s world-famous telenovelas.

The verdict marks the end of a police persecution that began in earnest in 1993, when El Chapo was blamed by Mexican authorities for the airport murder of Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo.
Chicago Tribune:
A sentence Guzman can't escape.
Prosecutors had spent months presenting an “avalanche of evidence” that included more than 50 witnesses, 200 hours of testimony, ledgers of drug deals, a grenade launcher and videos of Guzman's escape tunnels and his underwear drawer.
A Telemundo series, not necessarily based on "real persons", can't be far off.
