Former mob boss and fugitive James “Whitey” Bulger, who was arrested in Santa Monica, California on June 22, 2011 along with his longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig, is seen in a combination of booking mug photos released to Reuters on August 1, 2011. Bulger, currently on trial in Boston for murder and racketeering, has angrily cursed in open court, his own lawyer has described him as a mobster and one potential witness this week turned up dead on the side of a road. As prosecutors prepare to wrap up their case early next week and hand it over to the defense, the biggest question on observers’ minds is whether the 83-year-old defendant will break with convention once more and take to the witness stand.
