NEW YORK, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman may file a motion challenging his conviction on 10 criminal counts, after a juror told Vice News that jurors read media coverage of the case and discussed it with one another while the trial was going on, one of Guzman’s lawyers said on Wednesday. The juror said that multiple jurors lied when Cogan asked them directly whether they had read specific media reports related to the case, according to Vice News. The juror said that although they were ultimately convinced of Guzman’s guilt, some were reluctant to send him to what is likely to be lifelong solitary confinement. As part of the extraordinary security measures surrounding the trial, jurors were brought to and from court each day by armed U.S. marshals, and their names were never made public. Guzman twice escaped from prison in Mexico before his final capture in January 2016.
