Elizabeth Guzman was a prosecutor when her husband Javier — a Tampa vice detective who made the DEA task force — was arrested for laundering money for the cartel and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison. She stood by him through the entire case and his decade behind bars, even finding a way to start a family while he was in federal custody. Elizabeth shares what it was like watching her husband get prosecuted by the same system she worked inside, why she stayed, and what 11 years of federal prison looked like from the other side.
