Whitey Bulger: guilty of 11 murders.

Boston.com:

The jury found that the prosecution had proved that Bulger murdered Paul McGonigle, Edward Connors, Thomas King, Richard Castucci, Roger Wheeler, Brian Halloran, Michael Donahue, John Callahan, Arthur “Bucky” Barrett, John McIntyre, and Deborah Hussey.

It returned a “no finding” in the murder of Debra Davis, and decided that the prosecution had NOT proved that Bulger murdered members of the Notorangeli group, Michael Milano, Al Plummer, William O’Brien, James O’Toole, Al Notorangeli, James Sousa, and Francis “Buddy” Leonard.

He was also found guilty of “…two counts of racketeering, six acts of extortion, as well as narcotics distribution, money laundering, and illegal firearms charges.”

I would link to the Boston Globe coverage, but they’ve put it behind a paywall, so to heck with them.
