special guy. gets helicopter to Boston each day for court.
A federal judge declared James “Whitey” Bulger indigent today and assigned Boston defense lawyer J.W. Carney as his attorney leaving taxpayers to pick up the mobster’s legal bills.
Federal Judge Marianne Bowler said that after Bulger’s case is over, the court withholds the right to see if he can reimburse any of the cost.
A shackled Bulger was flown to Boston at noon today in a Coast Guard helicopter where he was walked across the tarmac at Logan Airport to a waiting SUV in a new twist to the high-powered security surrounding the mobster.
Bulger, who was dressed in a bright-orange jumpsuit, was taken back the same route with armed guards at his side for the entire time. Herald photographers caught up to the Bulger transport detail at Plymouth Airport.
Bulger’s world is now an 8-by-12-foot cell in Unit G, the maximum security section of the Plymouth County Correctional Facility, where inmates are locked up for 23 hours a day.
