NEW YORK—Twelve New Yorkers were chosen on Nov. 7 to sit on the jury that will decide the fate of accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, whose trial on U.S. drug trafficking charges begins next week.
Among the seven women and five men are at least three immigrants, three Spanish speakers and several people with ties to law enforcement. Almost all had heard of Guzman, but said they could be impartial.
