Moral disengagement is a crazy thing. Who would have thought that a druglord with thousands of hits on his kill count had a sentimental side he reserved for his better half.
Emma Coronel Aispuro, the woman who&#8217;s stood behind through thick and thin, is at heart of the most recent court injunction in the US Government&#8217;s federal case against extradited kingpin Joaquin &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzman, on charges of plotting the international drug trade beyond Mexican borders. 
&#8220;El Chapo&#8221; has one simple request above all when it was his turn to address the judge presiding over his trial: the embrace of his wife Emma Coronel Aispuro. According to official <a href="http://www.tmz.com/2018/11/07/el-chapo-hug-wife-drug-trial/?vtest=100" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">court</a> documents, &#8220;The only human contact Mr. Guzman has had since his extradition has been with the jail personnel when putting and removing his shackles, and a quick handshake from his attorneys when he goes to court.&#8221;
In other related news, a member of the grand jury was barred from completing his responsibilities after showing himself biased. The would-be juror admitted during the selection process that he had sought an autograph from the infamous kingpin. According to NBC News, a Michael Jackson impersonator was also eliminated from jury selection, for posing a serious threat to the legitimacy of the case.
The judge has yet to rule yay or nay on Guzman&#8217;s request for a hug.
