A verdict has been reached in the murder and racketeering trial of James “Whitey” Bulger, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced. The eight men and four women on the jury deliberated for more than 30 hours. The 32-count indictment before them accuses Bulger, 83, of the gangland shootings and strangulations of 19 men and women between 1973 and 1985, money laundering, extortion, drug distribution and illegal firearms possession. The former leader of the Winter Hill Gang faces a maximum sentence of life plus 30 years.
tweets from Ch 4’s James Armstrong give play by play
Guess this means no death pool today?
GUILTY on count 2 racketeering
When will the jurors be receiving their new identities?
Funny how all these NYC and Boston Mob guys are getting rolled up since the Chicago mob took over.
Rush still on RKO.

@HowieCarrShow is in the building and will be on the air starting at 3 p.m. to break down #Bulger Trial verdict
That’s ok, he will be dead by the time his appeals are heard.
Dunno, but they may be calling the defendant Blackie Bulger from now on
When Shaq O’Neal, a fan of “gansters” became a Boston Celtic he nicknamed himself “Blackie Bulger”. He changed his mind when it was said it would be quite offensive to murder victims.
Extortion of Stippo Rakes’ liquor store PROVED
Howie is on RIGHT NOW on WRKO...not necessarily his network.
Try online listening
2:18 pm “Not guilty of everything but guilty of enough to put him away for rest of his life”
may be officially sent away in a few months
State of Okla has to decide whether to try him
don’t think Billy would “deem it appropriate” to comment —he didn’t show up for the trial—but who knows
Glad to hear about Stippo, Hussey, Donahue, disappointed about Deb Davis. Glad this whole thing is over, can’t wait for bulger to start serving his time, I wonder how long it will be before he drops dead.
CNN: “Sentencing was scheduled for November 13”
Um, Whitey's been outed as an informant, aka a "rat".
Just exactly who do you think is going to "avenge" a "rat"?
All of his relatives are or have been feeding at the public trough, do you really think they are going to endanger their jobs/pensions?
That's not to mention the possibility of them "inheriting" lots of safety deposit boxes...
