STORYLINE:
A jury at the US trial of the infamous Mexican drug lord known as "El Chapo" has ended its second day of deliberations without a verdict.
Jurors were in court on Tuesday to decide whether Joaquin Guzman should be convicted of drug-trafficking charges. Deliberations are to resume Wednesday morning.
The 61-year-old Guzman is accused of operating a drug-smuggling empire that moved hundreds of tons of cocaine north of the US border over the course of two decades.
The jury heard from 14 cooperators who described Guzman’s willingness to use violence against the Sinaloa cartel’s enemies. The defence has accused the cooperators of making him a scapegoat.
Guzman has been in solitary confinement since being brought to the US in 2017. He could get life in prison if convicted.
