Was reputed mob boss James “Whitey” Bulger a rat?
During tense testimony Tuesday in Bulger’s murder and racketeering trial, his defense attorneys tore into government witnesses who acknowledged Bulger’s files were falsified or inaccurate, the New York Daily News reports.
FBI files suggest Bulger ratted out friends and associates, but defense attorneys said the records can’t be trusted – by the witnesses’ own admission, the Daily News reported.
Bulger, 83, is fighting 32 counts of racketeering and extortion and 19 murder-related charges.
He’s also fighting for his reputation.
