Whitey Bulger Trial: Hitman testifies reputed mobster "broke my heart"

Some headlines are too good not to post. not only that, but how in hell is this guy an "ex-gangster"? Also, the guy killed 20 people and only got a 12 year sentence. ugh.

An ex-gangster who admitted killing 20 people was unemotional Monday when describing his line of work at the trial of his former partner, James "Whitey" Bulger. But he called himself heartbroken when he learned that Bulger had become an FBI informant.

ohn Martorano gave short, matter-of-fact answers when questioned by a prosecutor about a string of murders he committed while he, Bulger and Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi were members of the Winter Hill Gang.

The only flash of sentiment came early in his testimony, when he was asked to describe his relationship with Bulger and Flemmi.

"They were my partners in crime, they were my best friends, they were my children's godfathers," Martorano said. He said he named his youngest son James Stephen after Bulger and Flemmi.
