Justice Nears in Noriega Drug Trial Verdict Narrowly Reached
Jurors told judge they were deadlocked but Hoeveler refused a mistrial and directed continued deliberations. After a seven month trial, Noriega was convicted on drug trafficking related charges with seven prosecution witnesses including Carlos Lehder testifying. He faces up to 120 years in prison and fines near 1 million. Tampa marijuana charges and possible Panamanian court cases loom. The case, likely to be appealed, signals continued U.S. pursuit of narcotics traffickers.
