7 jersey officially retired. congrats to him. tony dorsett talks about suffering from a disease caused by head trauma. here is his optimistic view, though. i have been told that, you know, we can slow it down, we can stop it. sometimes it can reverse it. so, i m all over this. i m trying to get this thing straight as far as my cte is concerned. look at tony go. former heavyweight champ mike tyson undisputed trut. he says sometimes i fantasize about blowing somebody s brains out so i can go to prison for the rest of my life. working on this bookmaking he think my whole life has been a joke. how about mayor big poppy? mayor, huh? mayor.
complicated. they re a little confused. yeah, i mean, they got the instruction they needed and, look, the judge did a good job in simplifying the issues for them. you need to prove two, and that s it. so she told them, in essence, look, if you re not sure on one, move to the next one. gregg: right. what s interesting, doug, is that, you know, whitey bulger has already admitted to the underlying crimes that you need for racketeering, right? we were discussing this before, and we ve been saying this all through this case, and i would actually ask you guys, why would a lawyer get up in the opening and say he s guilty of bookmaking, extortion and drug dealing? that makes no sense to me. i would just get up and give the standard opening, they have to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt and just sit down. so your point is very well taken. but i think stephen answered it which is his agenda in this trial was i wasn t an informant or a rat, and i never killed females. that s really all he c
bellow, who s been covering this case. good to have you on. i m curious, what are the experts there saying regarding the jury, the deliberations, and what they think the jury will determine here? well, they have an arduous task. there are 32 counts mr. bulger is facing. the judge gave an hour and a half charge to the jury. i don t think it s going to come back immediately. i think there will be many experts think there will be a day or two or three of deliberations. you have to go through all these charges. it s a sweeping racketeering indictment. it covers all kinds of charge, including charges that bulger participated in 19 murders, ran a vast criminal enterprise involving loan sharking, bookmaking, and drug dealing. a jury consisting of eight men, four women. you ve covered whitey bulger for years. does this saga, this trial and the spectacle, continue to add to it the legend of whitey bulger, which we may see in a
connected bulger to at least 18 murders, 11 of which he testified they were in together. they showed pictures including cars riddled with bullet holes. bulger had not seen his criminal associates in more than two decades and the body language in that courtroom spoke volumes. one of the bookies who actually changed his name after entering witness protection, he barely made eye contact with bulger, trying once in a while to sneak peeks at the former crime boss. another bookie, though, actually got a laugh from bulger when he described a story where they were shaking down an agent and bulger said we ve got a business besides bookmaking, and that s killing people like you. now, the hit man, john manerano, bulger barely acted like he knew he existed. it was only as he was described as an inform, a judist, a rat of
associates in more than two decades and the body language spoke volumes. a bookie barely made eye contact. another bookie, though, did get a laugh recounting a story in which bulger shaking down an agent and he allegedly said, we ve got a business besides bookmaking and that s killing people like you. bulger laughed. a rare emotion for bulger. in the testimony of the hitman, bulger barely acknowledged his existence much less that he was sitting six feet away and only time bulger turned his head is when he was called an informant, a rat, the worst of the worst. now families and friends in some of the 19 victims testified about the people who were killed, one woman saying that she was in a car the night it was riddled with machine gun fire. two friends were in that car with her. one was killed. the other paralyzed from the neck down. the government may call as many
