Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal

Gangster Whitey Bulger intimidated, robbed, and murdered in South Boston for years. Was it because his brother Billy was President of the Massachusetts Senate? How did Whitey become an FBI informant and use the connection to stay free? Boston Globe reporter Dick Lehr, co-author of Black Mass told me the story in 2001. POSTSCRIPT - Whitey Bulger was caught in 2011 in Santa Monica California, tried, and found guilty of 11 murders. Sentenced to two life terms, Bulger ended up in a wheel chair. He was murdered by other inmates in a West Virginia prison within hours of being transferred there.
