It is the best system invented.

Like maybe someone learned mind control and made El Chapo do it. But when he is not under mind control he is 100% law abiding citizen.

It will be a crazy defense, but it will be up to jury determine if that is the case.

Or another scenario is that El Chappo had no choice because rogue officials in the US demanded him smuggle drugs to the US or his family will be killed.

except you can’t have a fair trial in the US anyway. so presumption of innocence is just a mythical phrase (same as freedom of speech). money wins trials in the US. in this case the defense has to outspend the US gov. plus all high profile trials become media circuses that influence the outcome.
