A family of one of James “Whitey” Bulger’s alleged victims can proceed with a federal lawsuit against FBI agents who monitored the mobster-turned-informant, a federal judge ruled Thursday, the Boston Globe reports.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge William Young follows an appeals court ruling that the case is null because the statute of limitations had expired.
The Boston Globe reported that the family of one of Bulger’s victims, Michael Donahue, can continue suing the federal government because the appeals court failed to consider the merits of the case
The family claims the FBI agents who were monitoring Bulger did nothing to stop his reign of terror.
