Mayo shuffles uncomfortably in his seat.
Now it's the turn of the prosecutors to speak.
Elmayo was the world's single biggest drug trafficker this century, says New York Eastern District Attorney Joseph Nocella Jr., outside court.
I hope that Elmayo's life sentence brings some small measure of comfort to those families who have suffered so much pain.
Drug kingpins die in prison.
Elmayo's fate is to die in prison.
El Mayo helped transform the Sinaloa cartel into one of the most violent and prolific criminal organizations, adds DEA Administrator Terry Cole.
Under his leadership, the cartel produced and trafficked massive amounts of deadly drugs at industrial scale.
But then, a nod from Cole.
This story isn't over.
An operation of that size, he says, could not survive without violence and trafficking alone.
Corruption was essential to Elmayo's criminal enterprise.
He used bribery, influence and intimidation to shield the cartel from justice, both within Mexico and beyond its borders.
Today is a great day for law enforcement, adds Cole.
But let me be clear, this sentencing is not the end.
It's just the beginning.
He's right.
Mayo, the Sinaloa mastermind, will surely die in captivity.
But there are dozens of questions unanswered.
What happens to the world's largest drug cartel now?
