WHITEY BULGER TRIAL: 'I'M NO STOOL PIGEON'

Whitey Bulger has always denied he was a stool pigeon despite the fact the FBI has a boatload of files revealing that the Boston crime kingpin was indeed, a rat.
In an interview with NBC NEWS former G-Man Robert Fitzpatrick said that's always been the tune the mob canary has whistled.
Fitzpatrick told NBC: “When I interviewed him, he said he was not an informant and I found that odd because my whole reason for going out there was to assess him as an informant.  The worst thing for an Irish guy in Boston is to be a tout, [informant]. He said he would never testify.”

 It will likely be the last great mob trial in America. Why? Because none of the big guns are left. Gotti? Gone. Gigante? Gone. The remainders are mere pikers. This is something special.

BOSTON GANG BOSS WHITEY BULGER GOES TO TRIAL

Whitey Bulger is the last of America's old school gangsters and sometime this week he will go on trial for a litany of crimes -- including 19 murders. The man who owned Boston for decades --and inspired Jack Nicholson's crazed mob boss in The Departed -- was finally run to ground after years on the run with his mob moll in 2011.
Now 83, the crime lord's platinum hair is gone and the remnants of his feared Winter Hill Gang are dead, in prison  or if they're lucky, scattered to the wind. Can the old crook pull another miracle?

"He's a survivor. He's had a very long shelf life in a profession where that is not typical," said Dick Lehr, who wrote Bulger's biography Whitey: The Life of America's Most Notorious Mob Boss "The many faces of Whitey make him intriguing," Lehr added.

JAMES 'WHITEY' BULGER GETS PUBLIC DEFENDER

TOO POOR?

FORMER mob king pin James 'Whitey' Bulger is to get a public defender for his multiple murder trial, because he can't afford to pay for his own lawyer, a court ruled yesterday.
Despite being caught with more than $800,000 in cash, when his Santa Monica apartment was busted last week, the taxpayer will fund his defense.
His provisional attorney Peter Krupp, said authorities have seized all of Bulger's assets as the proceeds of illegal activity, leaving him with no way to pay for his defense.
And although prosecutors argued that his family including his brother and former Massachusetts Senate president, William Bulger could pay, he said no relatives had come forward and offered to help him financially.
