Tagged: judge, prisonPosted on: October 2nd, 2007“A Mexican judge who tried high-profile drug smuggling cases has stepped down a year after his predecessor was murdered, a court official said on Tuesday, with one media report blaming the resignation on death threats.
Gerardo Garcia, whose court judged the leader of the powerful Gulf Cartel and recently handed a long prison sentence to another narcotics kingpin, has moved to a quieter regional tribunal, a spokesman for the judicial system said.”
