Key witness in ‘Whitey’ Bulger trial found dead on the side of a road outside Boston
The body of a key witness in James 'Whitey’ Bulger's racketeering trial was discovered on the side of a road Wednesday by a jogger west of Boston.
Stephen "Stippo" Rakes, 59, was allegedly extorted by Bulger and considered one of the most determined alleged victims who waited a decade to testify, The Boston Globe reported.
The Globe reported that Rakes has been a fixture for six weeks at Bulger's trial and was told recently that he would not get the chance to testify.
The Middlesex County district attorney's office confirmed Rakes' identity in a press release Thursday. There were no obvious signs of trauma, a statement said. The medical examiner is conducting an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of death.

I never like iced coffee. Now I'll never get one again. I'll stick to my iced tea.
