The racketeering and murder trial of James ‘Whitey’ Bulger is coming to an end, and the defense is expected to rest its case today.
All eyes are on Bulger, who has not said yet whether he will testify on his own behalf or let the witnesses doing the speaking for him, the Boston Globe reports today.
One of Bulger’s lawyers, J.W. Carney Jr. gave no indication whether Bulger would take the stand.
“Every criminal defendant has until the last witness is presented in the defense to make a decision as to whether he or she would testify,” Carney said.
Carney’s plan early on was to place Bulger on the stand, but the judge has ruled the defendant cannot use an immunity defense while testifying.
