Reputed mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger lost his cool in court for the second time in his three-week-old trial for murder and racketeering, The New York Times reports.
Bulger became agitated while one of the government witnesses, John Morris, a former FBI witness, was testifying about Bulger’s role as an FBI informant. Bulger used an expletive and called Morris a liar, according to The Times.
Bulger has sought to show he was not an informant during his alleged reign in Boston.
“Whether it’s the ego of the defendant or his reputation he wants to preserve that he was not an informant,” Fred Wyshak, the lead prosecutor, said. “it’s a ridiculous contention.”
