Draggingtree Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Whitey Bulger Trial JUNE 2, 2013 On 6, Boston will hold organized crime’s, “Trial of the Century,” wheninfamous Mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger gets his day in court for allegedly murdering 19 people during his stay atop Boston’s gangland. After 16 years on the FBI’s Top 10 Most Wanted list, Bulger was apprehended on June 22, 2011 in Santa Monica, California. Since his capture, the families of his alleged victims, as well as Boston law enforcement officials have eagerly anticipated justice being served. “It should be a great show,” George Hassett, a Boston journalist and author of Gangsters of Boston says. “Whitey insists he will testify. His longtime partners in crime turned informants, such as John Martorano and Kevin Weeks will also likely make an appearance on the witness stand. It will be one final reunion for the gang. The only one not there will be the only one who didn’t turn informant- the cop, FBI agent John Connolly.” Bulger’s history as the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, an Irish crime family that grew out of his Southie neighborhood in Boston, is well known, as is his role as a top echelon FBI informant, who operated with lawless impunity for 20 years, under the protection of his FBI handler, Agent Connoll http://www.gorillaconvict.com/2013/06/whitey-bulger-trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
