Mexico's Narco-Lawyers Are Also Victims.

LA TIMES/
The unsolved murders of two prominent Mexican drug lawyers are drawing attention to "narcoabogados" -- overlooked players in the drug wars.
"These attorneys range from respected legal whizzes hired to find soft spots in government indictments to briefcase-toting henchmen who take advantage of their jail access to help clients run their drug businesses from behind bars. Some jailed kingpins have employed dozens of lawyers at a time, in part to manage far-flung enterprises: buying and selling properties, paying smugglers, bribing police."
