Conviction of drug lord sparks mixed reactions in U S
Federal officials hail the Juan Garcia Abrego conviction as a milestone while critics warn it will not stop the drug flow. Jurors found Abrego guilty of smuggling 15 tons of cocaine and laundering about 10.5 million dollars. He faces life at sentencing on January 31, with asset seizures of up to 350 million dollars authorized. The case traces his rise to power through Colombian links and a 1984 murder, though defense called it a campaign-season show trial.

Researchers note women mainly head social services and child welfare agencies, with little presence in transportation, prisons, or police departments, and no clear gap between Democratic and Republican governors.
