Accused Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger, arrested last week after 16 years on the run, won his request for a court-appointed lawyer to represent him.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler in federal court in Boston today approved 81-year-old Bulger’s request to appoint an attorney for him. J.W. Carney Jr., a lawyer with Carney & Bassil PC, will replace Peter Krupp, who had represented Bulger since his arrest.
