Excerpt
JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour): And finally tonight: murder, drug deals, gangsters, and a decades-long crime spree. It's all on display at the trial of a reputed Boston mob boss.
Judy Woodruff has our update in a conversation she recorded yesterday.
JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour): The trial is on break for the holiday, but for several weeks, prosecutors have been making their case against James "Whitey" Bulger.
Testimony at times has portrayed him as a cold-blooded-killer-turned-FBI-informant, as well as a drug lord feared on the streets of South Boston in the '70s and '80s. Convicted murderers, drug dealers, bookies and former FBI authorities have all been called to the stand. So have sons, daughters, siblings, and girlfriends of those allegedly murdered by Bulger and the mob.
Kevin Cullen, a reporter and columnist for The Boston Globe, has been there for all of it. He's the co-author of a book about the Bulger.
