Brothers Bulger wave in court, Whitey held
"It was a family reunion in U.S. District Court today
featuring former Senate president William "Billy" Bulger (Democrat)
waving to his mobster brother James "Whitey" Bulger
at his arraignment and mouthing hello.
Galpal Catherine Greig also smiled at her twin sister at her arraignment
after Bulger and raised her eyebrows as she was being taken out of court.
Billy Bulger said outside court that seeing his big brother in handcuffs
after 16 years on the run "an unusual experience."

This is one guy the family and friends will wish had stayed missing... I wouldn’t bet on this guy lasting a long time on the inside.
I doubt he’s going to turn state’s evidence either.

When I first arrived in the Boston area as a college freshman many years ago, I had a hard time understanding how it was possible that one brother could be the head of a top branch of state government while the other brother could be the head of a notorious crime syndicate.
After a couple of years of living in Massachusetts and getting to know the state better, the mystery disappeared. It became apparent that both brothers were in the same line of work...
I wonder what the betting line is on his survival?
There are a LOT of people who would prefer that he is no longer breathing right now. Even more, he is in the enviable position of being able to ruin careers by false accusation.
A bunch of current and former FBI and other LEOs, probably judges and politicians. Pillars of society.
