Federal Judge Brian Cogan, of the Eastern District Court in Brooklyn, New York, rejected the request of the defense of Genaro García Luna, to postpone the sentencing hearing until March 1, 2024, after having been found guilty of drug trafficking and criminal enterprise charges earlier this year.
"The defendant has not shown an adequate cause for such an extension," Judge Cogan determined, after César de Castro, García Luna's lawyer, sent two motions to the Judge arguing that he had new evidence in favor of his client. After being found guilty by a jury of various drug trafficking crimes in collaboration with the Beltrán Leyva faction of the Sinaloa Cartel, Judge Cogan had set the sentencing hearing for García Luna on September 27 of this year.
De Castro, in the motions delivered to the Court in Brooklyn in recent days, argued that officials, former officials, agents, and former law enforcement agents had given him thousands of pieces of information that proved the innocence of his defendant, and wanted to postpone the sentencing hearing.
In his rejection of the request by García Luna's defense, the judge set a deadline of September 20 of this year to "receive an ex parte petition in support of the motion" for the request to postpone the process, a measure considered merely for processing.
Luna faces the possibility of being sentenced to 20 years to life in prison.

Breon Peace, the federal prosecutor in charge of the García Luna case at the Department of Justice, gave Cogan a letter on July 5 in which he expressed his opposition to the postponement of the sentencing hearing for Calderón's former ally.
Regarding De Castro's argument for deferred sentencing, Prosecutor Peace stipulated that the defense had more than 3 years to present evidence in his favor, witnesses, and other exculpatory evidence before he was unanimously found guilty at trial.

Exactamente todas las acucasiones en México quedan impunes. México no puede culpar a nadien si el autor intellectual esta en otro pais y libre de culpa . No pueden jusgarlo dos veses por el mismo delito.
DeleteWe need to bring all former Mexican presidents to trial in the U.S.. They accepted bribes for permission to smuggle to USA.
ReplyDeleteThey need to extradite all ATF, DEA and CIA to Mexico also. Put them on trial for war crimes
DeleteAgreed on both. Let’s include George bush for op wide receiver and Barack and Eric holder for fast and furious.
Delete@7:22 you took the words right out my mutha fucking mouth the crooked ass DEA AND FBI that I know of are the ones working with the cartels i can’t speak for the rest of the other agencies but I know for mutha fuckin fact them 2 agencies are working with them just ask the Chimuelo 😂

Chapo laughing now. Saying. Well you broke your word and you never thought anything would happen to you..
ReplyDeleteChapo laughing it up, absolutely having the time of his life in supermax, which, though I've never been there, must be more fun than a barrel of monkeys..

I'd do life in prison at an old age to live the life chapo lived. In a second. All cjng do is copy what chapo has already done. That's a fact. Cjng or any other cartel has done nothing innovative at all. The orgins are fact look up the history!
Delete255 must have a dull life or never really live . It's not too late if your still breathing and not locked up
DeleteThis picture of Luna is the best lmao
ReplyDeleteCuando se extraditan sin antes pagar en México todo en absolutamente que impune en México. U.S.A no extradita a nadien Sin antes que paguen en su pais. Ese acuerdo lo usan para que México quede en visto como un pais sin ley, delante del mundo y nadien invierta en el pais. Asen sus acuerdos en U.S.A y quedan Libres y todas las accusasiones en México quedan impunes.
ReplyDeleteWell I meant to say they should pay in Mexico, everything goes unpunished in Mexico. I am in agreement that Mexico is a lawless country. Also thanks to the Yankees like Rubio, Mexico is free to commit crimes.
DeleteNice to see one of the true bad guys ho down lol
ReplyDeleteVeytia & Garcia Luna will never walk a mainline,I bet they're secretly working a deal to avoid their lengthy prison sentences!I wonder who they will exchange for their freedom & safety?Any bets?
