Jurors in the trial of James "Whitey" Bulger, the onetime Boston gang boss, have found him guilty of racketeering and conspiracy.
Bulger, 83, wearing a gray long sleeve shirt, dark trousers and white sneakers, stood stoically and showed no reaction as the verdict was read.
Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, a catchall offense that listed 33 criminal acts -- among them, 19 murders that he allegedly helped orchestrate or carried out himself during the 1970s and '80s while he led the Winter Hill Gang, Boston's ruthless Irish mob.
Good.
