Genaro Garc\xeda Luna\u2019s trial is over, but Maria and Peniley\u2019s investigative work is not. In this episode, they learn that a U.S. senator has requested the DEA and the FBI information on Garc\xeda Luna, including the names of the U.S. officials who vetted him. We listen to some of our series\u2019 protagonists react to the guilty verdict, and Peniley digs into what\u2019s next for Garc\xeda Luna. Finally, our hosts reflect on why the war on drugs was always unwinnable, and they get into some chisme, going behind the scenes of this series.
