Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman Sentenced to Life in Prison

NEW YORK (AP) — The notorious Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been sentenced to life behind bars in a U.S. prison. A federal judge in Brooklyn handed down the sentence Wednesday. Guzman was convicted in February in an epic drug-trafficking case that triggered a mandatory sentence of life without parole. He spoke briefly before he was sentenced, saying he was denied a fair trial.
