There was a little drama
between NYT journalist Alan Feuer and Eduardo Balarezo. It is understandable that Balarezo would
strike out somewhere, he has worked tirelessly at this case from the beginning,
for the most part alone, and he alone understands
the workings of narcos. The other two were
late comers, one signing on a month or so before trial, then seemed to create a
circus and wanted the spotlight. That is my opinion.
Will the attorneys be
paid? Apart from the payment from a “family friend” there are no guarantees.
Lichtman announced when signing on he had a guarantee,
presumably from the family, that he will be paid. Of course, thy are worried they will not be
paid. Balarezo would be the big loser in
that scenario. The others didn’t lose a
massive amount of time in comparison.
The problem with that is the
money has to be scrutinized as to being “clean” money. Dirty money would be confiscated. As far as I
know only the payments from family friends were made to the legal debt. They soon indicated they could give no more.
Months back when Balarezo
took over the case, the feds said they will indeed take a hard look at payment
money.
In conclusion the
attorneys may have to appeal to the government to pick up the tab for the case
that has been deemed “The costliest case in U.S. history. Translation: we the taxpayers.
I believe Alan Feuer
is a stand-up journalist, who along with Keegan Hamilton provided the greatest
coverage of inside the courtroom play by play.
They were counted on by Mica'a for the play by play. And countless others used the material
including me.
Here
is the tweet that began the drama:
And the Balarezo reply

ReplyDeleteHow is that conspiracy murders that happened in mexico on mexican soil but gets charged in the U.S how does that make any sense??? I thought thats what the treaty of Guadalupe hidalgo is about
ReplyDeleteHe's not being charged for murder but prosecutors are using that information to show the jurors that these are some of the horrible things the defendant is responsible of as the head of an international drug cartel leaders.
DeleteIs just a circus, all the americans want is chapos feria and they dont care if they waste peoples money on stupid trials.
DeleteNo you got it wrong, Kingpin Act, sorry he will be serving time in the poky.
DeleteThey knew the US wouldn't accept their money, should have gone for a public defender [which would have been considerably cheaper]. I highly doubt these lawyers will get their price tag from the government.
ReplyDeleteIs there a possibility that they won't get a dime from the govt??
They nevwr touched bases on the murders of el bravo an el barbino the last two in the list. Hmmmmmm i wonder whats the teuth behind those murders
ReplyDeleteA "journo" from the NYT hungry for the spotlight and attention? Big surprise!!!
ReplyDeleteEl Chapo trial is a circus.
ReplyDeleteIt is meant to distract the public from the real criminals.
"kill list". Very imaginative.
Who are the real criminals we are ignoring??
DeleteEvery government
DeleteHe getting paid,theres ways around that,easy!
ReplyDeleteI’m sure they could find a way, but will they desist from trying to charge the taxpayers? Would it look suspicious if they all of a sudden “don’t get a paycheck” but desist from charging the public? 🤔🤔🤔

ReplyDeleteShouldn’t El Chapo get credit for killing mostly people wanted as criminals by the US government? Everyone on that list was a criminal, certified as such by the US government.
ReplyDeleteAnd by outside you mean a basketball court with no rims, and a roof during is 1/23 @ ADX.
DeleteIdiots skip 4 reports worth of information and then comment.
ReplyDeleteGiven all the factors, I don't think the trial was a circus at all, everyone carried themselves as professionally as possible at all times, despite minor deviations from most parties at various moments.
ReplyDeleteHe would be charged with murder under the grounds he committed or directed homicides for the purpose of a continuing criminal enterprise to violate US drug laws.
Those defense attorneys missed many chances to object to many things that should have been stopped.
ReplyDeleteThe charges are not about murders in Mexico. They are about selling drugs in the USA. And the proof supporting that accusation was the testimony of the Flores twins. The rest is all bullshit, and just added to spice up the jury's perspective
ReplyDeleteA lawyer plays offense and defense. Yes they did object (defense), but where is the offense?
ReplyDeleteMica
Yup, he acted like a bozo
ReplyDeleteThey are getting paid with luxury apartments in NY under shell companies - look at Emma, she's walking around the city with a real estate agent instead of an assistant.
ReplyDeleteHow is chapo getting blamed for bravo murder but damaso said he order the killing of bravo
