BOSTON — Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger has been sentenced to life in prison for 11 killings and a string of other charges including extortion and money laundering.
The 84-year-old called his trial this summer a sham and declined to testify there or at his sentencing hearing.
On Thursday, Judge Denise Casper told Bulger that his crimes were "heinous" and "all about money." Bulger looked directly at her, listening intently.
She then sentenced him to two consecutive life sentences, plus five years.
