Court Rules Detention of El Chapo on Illegal Weapons Charges Violated His Rights to Due Process

DD for Borderland Beat


As reported in The News on November 13, 2014:


A federal court confirmed on Wednesday that the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán will not serve prison time for the alleged possession of firearms and ammunition designated for exclusive use of the armed forces.

While Chapo Guzmán remains behind bars with other pending charges, the 12th Circuit Criminal Court confirmed an injunction resolution against allegations filed against him for possession of guns and ammunition sighting a lack of consistency and completeness in the investigation, according to a statement from the court. 

The failure in the accusatory process against the organized crime leader was attributed to the defense attorney demonstrating that Mexican Marines entered into El Chapo’s house without a court order or relevant investigation against his client. The prosecution countered by saying that they are pursuing charges and vow to keep the criminal behind bars.

The defense demonstrated that there were various shortfalls including the unwarranted intervention of arresting officers at the place he was detained and that the case wasn’t first referred to an appeals court,” said the statement.

The 10th district judge in the State of Sinaloa and the third district federal penal process judge from the State of Mexico were forced to retract their order to detain El Chapo on charges of possessing illegal firearms and ammunition.

After 13 years as a fugitive, the infamous crime boss was detained on Feb. 22 by Marines from the Port of Mazatlán. He is being held at the maximum security federal prison, Altiplano.

Charges of drug trafficking are still pending against him and so far there have been no court decisions that would bar him from being detained and tried on those charges..  

 However considering the number of cartel capos and high elected and appointed officials that have been released from prison in the last few years because their due process rights were violated or the protected witness’s testimony was deemed not credible, or alleged fabricated evidence, anything is possible.  And it seems logical that if his rights to due process were violated in his arrest and detention and that resulted in the dismissal of the weapons charges, that would apply to the drug related offenses as well. 

(note: according to El Universal in a story published on Oct. 8, 2014, 74 persons who were in the power elite who were charged with crimes like organized crime were released by court decisions between 2010 and Sept. 2014 ) 

However even if the Mexican courts in their new found zeal to protect civil and constitutional rights (at least for the elites) were to order him released, and unless the prison authorities released him at 4:30 AM without notifying anyone of the the release, and if he could then disappear as happened with Caro Quintero,  Guzman still faces the possibility of extradition to the US.   

At least seven U.S. federal district courts, including Chicago, San Diego, New York and Texas, have already issued indictments for Guzman on a variety of charges, ranging from smuggling cocaine and heroin to participating in an ongoing criminal enterprise involving murder and racketeering.
 
Even so, if the Mexican authorities wanted to ensure his silence about the corruption at high levels of government, the courts in Mexico could block and extradition request because of “lack of evidence to support the charges in US.

Remember this is Mexico and anything can happen.

    1. wow...this is total conjecture, for I have not seen his final charges adn don't know what will become of the time still owed from his last incarceration, and will they prosecute him for the escape. I would say roughly 20 and odds in favor he will be eventually extradited, but that may drag on until EPN's Sexino has concluded

    2. I read some time ago in a story about an escape from prison, the convict had to serve his remaining time on the original sentence, but could not be charged for escaping. The court or PGR said it is not a crime to escape from prison. That it is a natural human reaction for someone who is locked up to try to escape and therefor it could not be a crime.

    3. He will be released by the end of EPN's presidency...

    5. DD...Mexico is a country that will not punish prison escapes IF..the escapee does not continue criminality when he is free. However, since 2001, Chapo has been issued 8 Mexican warrants against him for various crimes, and wanted in 7 Federal District courts in the US. So if they wanted to they could penalize him. and he does have remaining time. I don't think it will be something sought, but since the reader asked my opinion I put it out there for a consideration.

  3. The guy is an escaped convict with a warrant for his arrest. What other authority does one need to arrest him?

    ReplyDelete
  4. much to do about nothing. it has zero consequence to the case. all hype

  5. Funny thing is that if they had gone for a court order he never would have taken in the place he was caught. Makes it hard to get a warrant when it just means the person they are getting it on, will just escape after being topped off.

  6. So unreal, even the pettiness of that crime compared to what he's gonna do life for goes to show the ignorance of Mexico's constitutional law. Need a court order?? WTF. What if he was in there chainsawing some victims up do they still need a court order to enter and arrest him?? And the asininity of no investigation relavant against him?? Who are they kidding?? This was the most wanted man in the world, he has been under investigation for everything from robbing Santa Claus to mass murder and everything in between. So if the federal explanation is of ignorance then they can't arrest hitmen walking down the streets with AK's unless they are under investigation. What kind of Oscar Mayer BS are they fronting. The charge yes is nothing compared to his other but dropping the charge because of that lame explanation?

  7. Why not apply the same principles to Dr. Mireles' case. Btw, how is he doing and is he almost out? Mexican justice system is just as corrupt as the people in Mexico's leadership. What a disgrace.

    1. I don't recall the US Government ever caring about weapons charged, or murders of Mexican citizens. There's is strictly the transportation of narcotics into the US & subsequent proceeds. Pretty much only what affects US soil when it comes to drug dealers.

  13. He won't be extradited. It's not in his interest and it's not in the government's interest. Government does not want him to talk about high-level corruption. He wants to make sure his family and associates are able to continue the business.

  14. Well since everybody is speculating I may as well . He is washed up . Its over . He hasn't much use left for the powers that be . He will not be released . He will remain in prison or be killed . I hope he isn't killed .I would rather know he gets extradited and tried in the USA . Either way he is done .There are people in this world that can pretty much take him out anytime they decide if he is released no matter where he tries to hide . Sure some rules will have to be broken . Whats Chapo's family going to do . Run to the authorities and say he was murdered ?
    Guzman is finished .

  15. If he were to be released (which wouldn't happen because he still has time to serve from his 1990's conviction/s) he would probably find a way of disappearing regardless of if his release was public. If that ever happened, the chances are he would be captured quickly.

  16. Dr Mirels was armed with a chicken leg, that made el castillo de cagada wag his tongue and his tail like a dog, also he could not steal with mireles and his people on the way...
