NEW YORK—Self-described computer whiz Christian Rodriguez told jurors on Jan. 10 how he had a nervous breakdown from the stress of cooperating with the FBI to hack into the secure communication system he built for accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
On trial in U.S. federal court in Brooklyn since November, Guzman, 61, was extradited to the United States in 2017 to face charges of trafficking cocaine, heroin, and other drugs into the country as leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel.
