Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was convicted of 10 counts. Here’s how they break down

LA Times  

In this courtroom drawing, defendant Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, second from left, listens as the verdict is read in his drug trafficking trial on Tuesday in New York. From the moment Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was extradited to Brooklyn, N.Y., more than two years ago, his conviction seemed all but assured. Here are the charges for which Guzman was convicted: Count One: Engaging in a Continuing Criminal Enterprise CCE, as it was often shorthanded in court, is a popular charge in federal drug cases, in part because of its unforgiving mandatory minimum sentences, which generally range from 20 to 30 years. Count Two: International Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamine and Marijuana Manufacture and Distribution Conspiracy Unlike the top charge, for which jurors were asked to itemize drug convictions in the hundreds of tons, the international manufacture and distribution conspiracy charge required almost comically small quantities to prove: 5 kilograms of cocaine; a single kilo of heroin; 500 grams of methamphetamine; and 1,000 kilos of marijuana.
