According to Reuters, a key prosecution witness in the U.S. trial of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman on Thursday told jurors that there were “a lot of deaths” as the accused Mexican drug lord built the Sinaloa Cartel in the 1990s. Jesus Zambada told the jury that his brother, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, and Guzman used armies of sicarios to kill their enemies. Guzman is accused of directing massive shipments of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana to the United States.
