March 26 (UPI) -- Lawyers requested a new trial for convicted Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman on Tuesday, stating potential jury violations and prejudice prevented a fair trial.
The motion requests another trial for Guzman, who was convicted on murder conspiracy, drug-trafficking and money-laundering charges as the leader of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel. They also seek a hearing in which Guzman's defense team can question jurors about the alleged misconduct.
