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.

JURORS VISIT ANTHONY SOWELL'S HOUSE OF HORROR

CREEPY TONY
CREEPY Anthony Sowell's house, where he is accused of killing 11 woman and hiding their remains was visited by jurors before opening statements in the potentially explosive case. The alleged serial killer is thought to have lured his victims many who had a history of drug abuse  with the promise of booze or narcotics into his Cleveland, OH home.
Then, prosecutor's assert that when they were wasted, he struck, strangling or beating them to death. 
So far 11 bodies have been identified at his duplex.  
The women disappeared one by one, starting in October 2007 and ending in September 2009. It was thought that showing the jurors the Cleveland, OH home where it's believed the killings took place, would help them gain some perspective for the upcoming testimony.

"BASELINE KILLER" MARK GOUDEAU TRIAL TO START

BASELINE KILLER?
THE trial for the alleged "Baseline Killer" who terrorized Phoenix raping, robbing and leaving nine of them people dead, all but one of them women, is set to start this week.
Wearing hats, wigs and masks Mark Goudeau, 46, is accused of snatching women off the street - some in broad daylight - and raping them.
If they resisted they were shot to death.
One survivor only lived because her assailant's gun misfired. He is already serving a 438-year prison sentence for September 2005 sexual assaults against two sisters - one of whom was six month pregnant at the time.
As they walked home from the park , he jumped them at gunpoint and held his pistol between her legs and made her beg for her baby's life. Goudeau was convicted of those rapes in 2007.
