NEW YORK - Accused Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman is an "excellent father, friend, brother, son and partner," his young wife said as his landmark trial in New York wound up. She has not however been charged with any crime and showed up almost every day in court to be with her husband. During the trial the prosecution played a recording of a phone call between Coronado and Guzman, in which she passed the telephone to her father. The US authorities do not allow visits or phone calls between Guzman and his wife. They also forbade the couple from briefly hugging each other in court during the trial.
