Lawyers: Security Too Tight on El Chapo

| 0 Comments
It does not get much better than this...Lawyers for the notorious drug kingpin and murderer Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who is in the U.S. because the highest security Mexican prisons could not hold him, whined to a federal judge today about the security at a federal prison in Manhattan being too tight. Tom Hays at the AP reports that Guzman's lawyers complained that the restrictions placed upon their client are making it difficult for them to make decisions about this defense.  Guzman is allowed to talk with his lawyers on the phone, and has met with them. But the lawyers complain that guards won't allow him to meet with his common-law wife, keep him in his cell 23 hours a day, and did not bring Guzman water during one meeting with them.  They also complained that the guards violated his rights by denying him a shovel (just kidding).  The judge turned them down.
