Reposted because this was at the end of last bread:

I didn't see this noted . . . but El Chapo's defense today called only one witness, and wrapped up within a half hour! Closing statements will be made (Prosecution tomorrow, I believe, and defense on Thursday).

BUT . . . the Defense spent just a half hour? WTF? Well, my SO said, "They're gonna claim inadequate defense/representation and ask for a retrial." Sounds logical to me - it would delay sentencing, among other things.
