Monterrey Nuevo Leon: CDN leaves body parts and messages near prisons

Sol Prendido for Borderland Beat from Letra Roja

Mexico. This morning, coolers containing human remains were found next to a message signed by the Northwest Cartel (CDN), near the Apodaca and Topo Chico penitentiaries in Monterrey.

The coolers were tied with blue tape and next to them there were two white cards with narco messages:

Padrino Huesos (Godfather Bones)

This happened to me for continuing to roll to with my dad Farts. And having turncoat with the Matamoros Golfas (bitches). Don’t follow those in charge of the prisons people. Otherwise, this will happen to them when they leave. If this happened to this asshole who was their lieutenant just imagine what awaits you when you leave? I also take this opportunity to remind you all the ministerials and Civil forces to no longer surround yourselves with these assholes, those who collaborate with Pelón Pedorro (Bald Farter). Stop fucking around and align yourselves with us. Go and leave that agreement that was asked of you where you already knew what was discussed. And we will stop the slaughter. You decide if we continue. Or we can once again start over once you are ready to be frank. First and last time you will be given the opportunity to align yourselves with us. 

Sincerely , Operative CDN ( Northeastern Cartel)

The Dirty Secret of El Chapo's Downfall

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat-----Vanity Fair by Don Winslow

El Chapo History and Trial

From top, packages of cocaine seized last year by Peruvian police feature the faces of two famed drug lords: Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán (left) and Pablo Escobar (right); Authorities escort Guzmán to a helicopter in Mexico City after his capture in Mazatlán, February 22, 2014; Among the evidence presented in Guzmán’s trial in New York: a diamond-encrusted handgun decorated with his initials.

It’s the trial of the century, right?

The satisfying third act in the dramatic rise-and-fall story of a celebrated Mob boss who became one of the world’s richest men, a Robin Hood who gave to the poor, a modern-day Houdini who escaped from not one but two maximum-security prisons.

And it’s great show business with a full cast of characters: a compelling antihero, high-level drug traffickers who “flipped,” a sexy mistress, a beautiful young wife in the gallery.

It has titillating stories of luxury jets, private zoos, a naked escape (with said mistress) through an elaborate tunnel, and wretched excesses of wealth that would bring a blush to the faces of the most shameless “stars” of reality TV.

El Chapo Trial: Jury has questions on count nine 2 others-jury finished for the day

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat

Whoa…what does this mean?

In one hours the jury already had questions, which were answered by the judge and they returned to the deliberation room at 2:45

A young Hispanic woman was chosen as foreperson.

Questions were on count 9.  As in count 9 of 10. [firearms count see below]

Does that mean they have decided 8 counts already?

That very well could be.  Or it could mean they are knocking off those counts they were closer to reaching a decision and leaving the others for last.

It is not uncommon to take a vote and “see where they are at” before discussions.

The three inquiries from the jury:

El Chapo Trial: Chapo's Date with destiny and verdict watch

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat

"I have no dog in this fight---" says Judge Cogan beginning his jury instructions---Jury excused to deliberate at 1:05 EST--- Attorney General Whitaker visits courtroom---wishes gov attorneys good luck

Chapo being transferred this morning

The indictment was 17 counts and has been dropped to 10 counts.  Each count however contains multiple violations.

During jury deliberations jurors will determine each individually to conclude guilty or not guilty.

I have been asked to predict the length of deliberations.  I honestly have no sense of how short or long it could be.  It could be as short as a few hours.  But, to conduct a true deliberation that requires each count/violation separately, it should take days.  Could it be today?  Yes.

Below I am posting again the verdict sheets for your perusal, or to cast your ballot and compare to the actual verdict sheets from the jury.

The day will began with Judge Cogan giving instructions to the jury.  A copy of instructions usually accompanies the jury into the deliberation room.  They can ask for clarification, but usually the judge will simply reiterate what is written, because the wording is carefully determined before the final draft, so Cogan must adhere to the wording.

Apparently there was a bit of chaos this morning when late comers attempted to cut into line. Journalists formed a union attempting to keep out the line cutters, to no avail the cutters made it in, when they did they were booed. Myself I think it fair to rotate who were spectators from the press.

You may here the verdict before seeing it on BB.  I am travelling today and tomorrow so may not be able to post it immediately.  I will do my best, besides the verdict will spread  everywhere like a California wild fire 

Keegan’s updates from inside the courtroom:

“Hearing that the defense will ask Judge Cogan to poll the jury before deliberations begin about whether anyone saw news coverage about Chapo allegedly drugging and raping young girls. Could potentially lead to jurors being dismissed. There are six alternates available.”

I don’t see how that is possible, because just asking the question gives them the information.  I think the usual questioning of seeing news stories on any medium would apply

Chapo came out today wearing a black suit, gray shirt, and black time. He was all smiles.  He gave each defense attorney a hug and slap on the back.

As expected, court began with a lengthy sidebar. It was an animated discussion between Judge Cogan, prosecutor Gina Parlovecchio, and Jeffrey Lichtman.

Translation By Cruz for Borderland Beat

A Collegiate Court in criminal matters ordered a Penal Judge to leave the 10-year prison sentence given to Jesus Alfredo Beltran Guzman "El Mochomito" and 4 of his co-defendants for diverse federal crimes unsubstantiated.

Narco Banners:Not me, says El Marro

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat-Thank you CHAR from Twitter @l4nd3t4

In an audio El Marro of Guanajuato denies involvement with the explosives found in the truck, sends message to AMLO and mentions Mencho.

CJNG and El Marro have hung fake narco banners in the past, apparently those hung this week were fake.

By Sol Prendido below

Audio translation reads as follows: 

This is a statement from the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel. I send greetings with respect to the federal forces and our President of the Republic. We direct ourselves to society in general, we distance ourselves from the mantas and the van with explosives that appeared in the refinery today. We do not leave messages or kill innocents. 

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel wants to pretend that we put those mantas. Because they could not stand the embarrassing ass kicking that we gave them. They already want the government to help them. The town knows that we do not bother the people. 

We do not extort innocents. We are aware of the business we are in and we know the laws that we violate. Stop fucking around Jalisquitas. Come out to the fight and stop putting mantas up like little girls. La Mencha pays you to battle. Not to come and kill innocents and extort them. If you’re such hot shit come out to fight bitches! 

Sincerely, The Grand Dick. 

Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel
