An alternate view of the Bulger trial

The Trial of Whitey Bulger, by Matthew Connolly, a retired criminal attorney and former assistant DA.

Meanwhile, the judge in the impending case has to decide whether to ban the reporters and columnists who have been covering Bulger since he ran the Winter Hill Gang now that Bulger's lawyers have put them on a list of potential witnesses.

talk about the utter tragedy it is that the Bulger trial won't be televised. He droned on and on about how much of an important trial this is and that the people have a right to see how this vicious criminal will face justice.

Of course he left out the part where he would have more exposure for his shitty books if he was drafted as a commentator by TruTV or some other media outlet. I take great pleasure in knowing how much it burns Howie's ass to see that fat old plagiarist Mike Barnicle every morning on MSNBC, whereas ole lardass Howie can't even get a TV gig on Fox.

All that money spent on lipo and hair transplants wasted on an AM audience that can't see it....

is an occasional commentator on the O'Reilly Factor about Whitey Bulger.

I'm disappointed that I won't be able to see Howie's smirking and eye rolling at this trial. It was the best part of the Billy Bulger Congressional Hearings a few years back.

IMHO and apropos of nothing: Billy Bulger is the best president UMass ever had. Mitt's kind of a jerk for making him resign.

that Billy and Whitey Bulger are really the same person. After all, has anyone seen them together in public?

But he still has the most in-depth knowledge on the subject matter in regards to the media.

But as much as I want to see justice for the victims families.. can't this guy just die already? Please save the tax payers of an expensive trial where we already know the outcome. (if he gets off, I will eat my own shoe on national television).

This is just going to be a media circus for the next two years... and I really don't think he's going to get a fair trial (then again he wasn't fair to his victims either!)

...would you eat your shoe on local cable access television? Now that's putting it on the line...because really who else is going to broadcast that?

There must be plenty of people in state politics who were hoping this guy would just die already.

But, the prosecution can't put it off any longer. Get your popcorn, soda and chips ready. Watch all the rocks turn over, especially if Whitey figures he has nothing to lose.
