Life in prison
Dámaso López Núñez, “El Licenciado” the man who got El Chapo out of prison in his laundry cart escape has been sentenced today to life in the federal court of Alexandria, Virginia, after pleading guilty.
López Núñez apologized to the people of the United States in his court statement.
His pre-sentencing report recommending life was filed on Wednesday.
In his previous plea agreement he was given a possible offer of a three level down grade. [Both documents are posted below]
On its face the life sentence mean just that, that the 51 year old will leave prison in a pine box.
This becomes relevant and interesting when connecting to the Chapo trial. López Núñez was expected to be a strong cooperative witness against his former boss.
So now what? If this is really the deal, then why expose him to harm in prison by testifying? Well….what if this is a ploy? He can now testify before jurors and declare that he was there for the right reasons. That he didn’t get a free pass, he received a life sentence. That would give great credibility to his testimony.
Then after the trial his sentence could be adjusted. Impossible? Nope, it has happened before.
The life without parole prison sentence, for AFO cartel leader Francisco Javier Arellano Félix, was reduced to 23 1/2 years because he’s provided crucial information to the government that has led to prosecutions in the U.S. and Mexico, according to federal court records.
Judge Larry Burns, of San Diego District Court, said prosecutors had outlined Arellano’s “extensive post-sentencing cooperation,” providing information on both cartel figures and the public officials who worked with them on both sides of the border.
In the case of Dámaso López Núñez, who knows. Possibly inside a document filed right after his sentencing hearing today, would provide some answers.
But that document, Docket 40, is sealed.
