translated from Spanish: want to hug Emma Coronel

photo / AFP United States.-Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, asked the judge who presides over the process to you have a “humanitarian gesture” and allows you to embrace your spouse, Emma Coronel, next Tuesday, when the trial starts.
Two years ago he was extradited, American justice were not allowed to receive visits from their spouse Emma Coronel, of 29 years.
Guzman Loera is only visited by his lawyers in prison in Manhattan where is isolated 23 hours a day, as well as her twin daughters for seven years, but all through a glass partition.
The lawyer Mariel Colón Miró, on behalf of the defendant, wrote to judge Brian Cogan that his client wished to give to your spouse “a brief, momentary greeting that includes perhaps a hug on November 13, before the start of opening arguments” of the Prosecutor’s office and the defe NSA. “It can be a brief hug in front of the World Court, separated by the barrier. The total process would not take more than a couple of seconds”, he said.
The lawyer said that a hug “does not pose a threat to security”. “It is not reasonable to infer that a momentary greeting, done under the eye of U.S. marshals, can present a risk that Guzman will escape the Court or even to pass messages to his spouse,” he said.
In addition, the defense of “El Chapo” says that his health has deteriorated because of its isolation and because it is untouched by anyone, except for the guards who put him and removed the handcuffs and handshaking receives when you see their lawyers at the hearings.
This deterioration can “lead potentially to a problem in its ability to assist effectively in his defense”, estimated the lawyer.
