James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, infamously known as the Boston's former crime boss, was sentenced imprisonment for two consecutive life terms plus a period of an extra five years on Thursday, 14th of November.‘The scope, the callousness, the depravity of your crimes are almost unfathomable,’ said Judge Denise J. Casper, after reading and hearing a long list of Bulger’s rebuke. She furthered ordered Bulger, 84, to pay $19.5 million in compensation to the families of his victims.
Bulger was captured in 2011 after spending 16 years of his life on the run. He was handcuffed in Santa Monica where his apartment walls were filled with hundreds of thousands of dollars. Bulger had helped murder eleven people and threatened countless others. He was also accused of bribing FBI agents and providing them with information about his rival New England Mafia. Bulger offered to plead guilty if his girlfriend, Catherine Greig, was shown ‘some consideration’. Greig is now serving an eight years imprisonment for helping Bulger in his fugitive.
‘The testimony of human suffering that you and your associates inflicted on others was at times agonizing to hear and painful to watch.’ said the U.S. District Judge Casper after hearing stories related by family members of Bulgers victims. "I cried for days, I cried for weeks, I cried for months," said Marie Mahoney whose father vanished in 1973 after being murdered by Bulger. "How does a 12-year-old come to grips with a parent never coming back?"
