Episode: Federal jury rejects Bovino murder plot after attorney calls on it to 'stop the overreaching government'
Description: Federal authorities slapped all kinds of labels on Chicago’s Juan Espinoza Martinez when they arrested him last fall.
They called him a “high-ranking member of the Latin Kings.”
They called him “depraved” and a “thug” as they accused him of offering 10-thousand dollars for the murder of U-S. Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino.
But yesterday (THURS), a federal jury called Espinoza Martinez “not guilty.”
