Now that the show is no longer in production, I'll be declassifying all the previous 'Classified' episodes on Patreon and this is one of them.Chris and Andrew talk to convicted serial killer, and Sinaloa cartel hit man, Jose Martinez AKA El Mano Negra (the black hand). Martinez admits to 38 homicides, 36 in the United States and two in Mexico. Martinez is already convicted of 10 murders, 9 in California and 1 in Alabama. Martinez is currently facing the death penalty in a double homicide trial in Ocala, Florida. We speak to Martinez about his childhood, his friendship with El Chapo, some firsthand insight on how the cartel works with hit men like himself. This is part 1 of 2, with Martinez. I've consolidated both portions of the interview into one episode and i've enhanced the audio so instead of being terrible, it's just bad. I enjoy going back and hearing these old episodes from Criminal Perspective's humble beginnings. Enjoy and thank you for being along for this crazy ride!This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4817809/advertisement
