Whitey: United States of America v. James J. Bulger
Man:
Thirty years ago, my wife and Ipurchased a liquor license.
Then we had the liquor store up
and running by Christmas.
We poured our heart and soul in it.
And then, lo and behold,
I get a knock on my door
one night, I'm at the house,
my wife's down at the liquor store
working, and it was Kevin Weeks
and Whitey Bulger at the door,
and I didn't know,
what the hell do they want?
"You got a problem."
I said, "I don't... what problem?"
He says, "Listen,
we were hired to kill you."
I'm like, what?
He said, you got to understand,
they hired us to kill you.
I just couldn't believe it,
I didn't know what to even think,
I was dumbfounded.
Actually, I froze.
He said, "But what we're going to do
instead of that, we're just going to
become your partners." I said, "No,
you're not becoming my partners."
And then, Bulger's right there.
He's just staring at me,
and just grinding his teeth like,
"You don't understand,
we're taking
I was like, "It's not for sale."
He said, "I'll fucking kill you.
I'll stab you, and then I'll kill you."
I'm like, Holy Jesus.
And then they pulled out a gun.
I was like, "Oh, f*ck."
They picked up my kid.
Daughter was a year.
He said, "It would be terrible
for this kid to grow up without a father."
I was like... and I melted.
Nothing you can do.
Ever since that day,
I've never been the same.
I couldn't protect my own children.
As a man, that just took me away.
And I'm not over it yet.
I won't be over, and maybe I'll never
get over it, but I surely can't wait
to get in front of that court,
on that stand and testify
against that. 30 years ago,
he scared me to death, he don't
scare me to death no more.
Woman:
After 16 years, the FBIfinally has its man.
Boston mob boss James Whitey Bulger
was captured in Southern California.
Man:
... along with his longtime girlfriend,Catherine Elizabeth Greig.
The 83-year-old
is accused of drug trafficking,
extortion and murder, all while
working as an FBI informant.
He was on the lam for 16 years.
I never committed a crime in the
16 years that I was with Catherine.
My whole life changed
when I was with her.
very human, I guess you'd say it.
And I love the woman intensely.
When I was captured, I told them,
"If you people," I says, "will let Catherine
go, I'll plead guilty to all crimes."
"Any crime," I says, "innocent
or guilty. Youse can execute me,
you can give me life sentence,
you can do whatever youse want,
but I want her to be free."
And I meant it, and I mean it today.
If they said to me,
"Plead guilty, and we'll
let her go free and shut your mouth,"
I would do it.
Woman:
It's been a long time coming.After 16 years on the lam
and two years in custody,
the criminal trial of James Whitey Bulger
began today at the John J. Moakley
courthouse in South Boston,
just blocks away from
Whitey's former home turf.
(sirens wailing)
Man:
This is what it looked like hereat the courthouse earlier this morning.
A police escort and several black
SUVs roll up to federal court.
Behind the tinted windows,
James Whitey Bulger,
who is back in Boston to face
19 charges of murder
in the same city he's accused
of terrorizing as a gang boss.
Man 2:
Some of the victims' familiesalso arriving today,
hoping to see justice done
after waiting almost 30 years.
I'm happy that this is about to start.
It's been a long wait.
A really, really long wait in time.
So, I'll see youse when I get out.
How are you going to
feel being in there?
