jury so far pictures of specially built submarines that prosecutors say carried millions of dollars of cocaine from colombia to guzman in mexico and elaborate tunnels they say he then famously used to get into the u.s. and then there were cans of pickled whole opinio peppers which it's claimed el chapo used to smuggle upwards of forty tons of cocaine into the u.s. worth five hundred million dollars a year this was goods months favorite weapon a diamond encrusted thirty eight caliber with his initials on it. security is tight for the trial with no cameras or video allowed inside the courtroom but that didn't appear to stop guzman's beauty queen wife emma coronel who was at one point caught with a cell phone in the courtroom the prosecution claimed she was secretly trying to text her husband through his lawyers i'm not going to take on like that if this guy
