he's home. and the talk of Southie. a lot of the old-timers are in shock and they want their justice for murdered loved ones.
whitey, asked if he could afford a lawyer, said "yeah, if you give me my money back". the Feds want his politician brother to pay the legal bills.
he'll do 20 minutes in prison and then die. end of an era and a legend in Boston for sure.

Former Massachusetts Senate President William Bulger, the recipient of one of the largest pensions in state history, could see his wallet take as hard a hit as his reputation if prosecutors succeed in forcing him to foot the bill for his accused serial killer brother’s defense.
The elusive William Bulger — once the state’s most powerful lawmaker — finally came out of hiding yesterday and found himself face-to-face with his crime boss older brother, James “Whitey” Bulger, in U.S. District Court. Whitey Bulger’s court-appointed attorney said the South Boston mob kingpin, who reportedly had $800,000 stashed in his Santa Monica, Calif., hideout, was broke and needed taxpayer dollars to fund his defense.
