BREAKING NEWS – Boston Massachusetts – Jurors in the trial of James “Whitey” Bulger, the onetime Boston gang boss, have found him guilty of racketeering and conspiracy. He was charged primarily with racketeering, a catchall offense that listed 33 criminal acts — among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and ’80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston’s ruthless Irish mob. J.W. Carney Jr., who served as Bulger’s attorney, said in a statement after the verdict was read, that he was pleased to see that jury realized that Bulger was overcharged, and acquitted him of not paying over $300.00 in parking tickets.
