Mexican court convicts young U.S. cartel hitman, 3 years
Mexican court convicts young cartel hitman
By Morgan Lee
11:14 a.m., July 26, 2011
A San Diego-born teenager was convicted Tuesday of aggravated homicide in the beheading of four men on behalf of a Mexican drug cartel, according to court officials and prosecutors in Mexico.
A juvenile court judge declared Edgar Jimenez Lugo responsible in the August 2010 killings, which ended with the mutilated bodies being strung from a highway bridge in Cuernavaca, a tourist destination just south of Mexico City.

Edgar, 15, was sentenced to the maximum three years in juvenile detention, said Carlos Castro Elizondo, a spokesman for the Morelos juvenile state court.
Edgar was arrested on Dec. 2 as he and a sister attempted to board a flight to Tijuana and reach their mother in San Diego, after the Mexican military had launched a search for them.

Teen guilty of beheading at least 4 in Mexico
July 26th, 2011
03:17 PM ET
A 14-year-old born in the United States has been found guilty in a Mexican court of torturing and beheading at least four people and kidnapping three others.
The defendant, known as "El Ponchis" ("The Cloak") is a 14-year-old boy from San Diego. Because he is a minor, his trial in Cuernavaca, Mexico, was closed to the public.
He was captured near Mexico City in December. In an on-camera interrogation by Mexican military authorities, the youth admitted to brutally killing people - the victims all were beheaded. The video shows a military interrogator asking the slim teenager with curly hair several questions.
"How many have you killed?," he asks.
"Four," he responded calmly.
"How did you execute them?"
"I slit their throats."
A YouTube video that circulated last year purportedly showed the teenager beating a man with a two-by-four while the man was tied at the wrists and hanging from the ceiling, as other young people watched.
The teen was accused of of crimes related to drug trafficking – specifically cocaine and marijuana – illegal possession of military weapons, and violations against federal organized crime law "with the objective of committing kidnappings and aggravated murder," juvenile court spokesman Juan Carlos Castro said before the trial.
"El Ponchis" is not the only minor in Mexico allegedly involved with drug cartels. Social media pictures have surfaced in the last year showing teenagers and young men holding high-caliber assault weapons and wearing masks.
Six youths were captured last October in a town about 30 miles south of Mexico City. Graffiti in the house where they were hiding linked them to the so-called South Pacific Cartel, a splinter group that formed after cartel leader and drug lord Arturo Beltran Leyva was killed in a shootout with the Mexican military in December of 2009.

Wow, scary. At 14, I admit I was into gangsta rap, but I also still had a canopy bed and slept with my stuffed animals. I was into horses and my pets. Killing people never crossed my mind. Different times, I guess.
