The defense of 'El Chapo & # 39; alleges that there is no fair trial conditions

NEW YORK.

The defense of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera reiterated in a new document submitted to the Federal Court that executes the proceedings against him and published today that there was no condition for that his client has a fair trial.

The motion was sent to Judge Brian Cogan, who is presiding over the case, in response to the Prosecutor's refusal to remove some of the evidence submitted shortly before the start of the trial, as requested by the defense last Friday.

He claims that the sending of evidence and the list of alleged new victims may be consistent with the responsibilities of the Office of the Prosecutor. However, "this is not consistent with what the Constitution guarantees for due process," said Balarezo, who adds that there is an argument that "ignores" the government.

He also argues that the Constitution does not provide sufficient room for due process based on the identity of the accused or the allegations made against him.

Guzmán, extradited from Mexico, faces eleven charges – there were 17 initially – for which he will be tried from 5 November, when jury selection will begin for a proceeding that may last three or three years. four months because of its complexity.
