including Mexican drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero have been convicted in Mexican courts of charges stemming from the murder The primary evidence against Zuno during his trial here last year came in the testimony of two former Mexican police officers who had worked for one of drug kingpins Both said Zuno participated in meetings during late 1984 and early1 1985 in which he planned the kidnaping with drug traffickers and high-level Mexican officials One witness also said Zuno had been at the house where Camarena was tortured Defense lawyers attacked the credibility of the witness saying he had admitted involvement in the slaying of four Jehovah's Witnesses in Mexico in an unrelated incident Zuno originally was convicted in 1990 but the verdict was overturned by Rafeedie who ruled that an improper statement by a prosecutor had tainted the jury Zuno speaking through an interpreter made a brief plea for leniency! have said from the beginning that I am innocent and I will not rest until
