This included precluding the defense from presenting evidence that did not directly relate to the charges against Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán or that could potentially mislead the jury.
- Prior Bad Acts and Other Crimes: The government moved to admit evidence of Guzmán's prior bad acts and other crimes to demonstrate his pattern of criminal behavior. This was aimed at establishing a broader context for the charges he faced, including his leadership role in the Sinaloa Cartel and his involvement in drug trafficking and violence.
- Witness Protection and Anonymity: To protect the safety of witnesses, the government requested that certain witnesses be allowed to testify under pseudonyms and that their identities be kept confidential. This was crucial given the violent nature of Guzmán's cartel and the potential threats to the witnesses' lives.
- Limitation on Defense Arguments: The memorandum also sought to limit certain defense arguments that might distract from the primary issues or introduce unfair prejudice. For example, it aimed to restrict the defense from arguing that Guzmán was merely a scapegoat or that the charges were politically motivated without substantial evidence to support such claims.
