After it was announced that Ismael El Mayo Zambada would not face the death penalty, it was immediately revealed that Rafael Caro Quintero and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, alias El Viceroy, had also requested to be spared capital punishment.
All three are on trial in the United States, and for months they have been negotiating with the US government to be spared the death penalty.
The most surprising case was that of Caro Quintero, because he is accused of several crimes, including the kidnapping and murder of US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent “Kiki” Camarena in 1985.
"Dear Judge Block: United States v. Rafael Caro Quintero, Criminal Case No. 15-208 (S-3) (FB). The government respectfully submits this letter to inform the Court and the defense that the Attorney General has authorized and directed this Office not to seek the death penalty against the defendant Rafael Caro Quintero," said the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.
For its part, the U.S. Attorney's Office also requested on Tuesday that the death penalty not be considered against Vicente Carrillo Fuentes.
El Viceroy, brother of the late Amado Carrillo, El Señor de los Cielos, was part of a group of 29 drug traffickers extradited to the United States at the beginning of the year.
The US position on these requests and decisions to withdraw the death penalty is still unknown.
I don't feel any sympathy for that scumbag Caro Quintero. Every time I see Kiki's wife talk in interviews it breaks my heart. What they did to this poor guy is horrible. If Caro gets the death penalty he will be lucky because all we do is put him to sleep painless death. Poor Kiki suffered days of torture from this bastard. Nuff Said!!!
