'Whitey' Bulger Witness Delivered Stepdaughter to Be Murdered

The jury in the murder trial of James "Whitey" Bulger listened today to some of the grisliest testimony yet as a witness described how he took his stepdaughter shopping before delivering her to Bulger allegedly to be strangled.

The witness, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, had earlier told the court how he had delivered another girlfriend to a house where Bulger waited to strangle her.

Flemmi, 79, appeared exasperated at times as he recounted the murder of his stepdaughter Deborah Hussey, who grew up calling him Daddy and later became Flemmi's lover and murder victim.

<snip>

Brennan asked him about the ride to the house where, Flemmi told the court, Bulger looped a rope around her neck, tied a stick to the rope and twisted it until she choked to death. Then Flemmi got on his knees and pulled out her teeth to prevent her being identified.

<snip>

"You took her shopping knowing you were going to kill her?" Brennan asked.

"You are so negative about it,'' Flemmi testified. "Why don't you want to hear the positive side of it?"

Whitey has been tossing the odd "Eff you" at those testifying against him.

is pretty shocking. Nothing like a bunch of total sociopaths hooking up for a decades long crime spree with the aid of the fucking FBI.

The first time around, though, it did generate a lot of

What's also odd is one of the guys on the witness list, after being told he wasn't needed to testify, ended up dead. Just the other day. VERY strange circumstances.

He was the guy who was "extorted" out of his package store because Whitey liked the location.

He forced the guy to sell by dandling the guy's toddler daughter on his knee, and letting her play with his gun, while he quietly threatened the guy with a dire fate if he didn't sign.

Whitey was a ruthless SOB. Still is, I think.

must be like science fiction.

The stuff being said before the jurors is absolutely chilling.
