BOSTON (AP) The former FBI agent serving a 40-year prison sentence for alerting Boston mobster Whitey Bulger that he could be implicated in a murder is seeking to be released from prison on medical grounds.
The Florida Commission on Offender Review will hear the request Wednesday from John “Zip” Connolly, who is being held at the Reception and Medical Center in Lake Butler, Florida.
“It’s on the docket for the 17th and he’s seeking a conditional medical release,” said commission spokesperson Angela Meredith. A majority vote would lead to Connolly’s release, she said.

John J. Connolly Jr., the former FBI agent convicted of helping James âWhiteyâ Bulgerâs gang in a Miami murder plot, could be a free man for the first time in almost two decades after he goes before Florida prison officials Wednesday for a hearing to consider a compassionate medical release.
Connolly is 80 and has cancer, his attorney said Sunday. If at least two of three commissioners on Floridaâs Parole and Conditional Medical Releases board agree, he would be able to leave prison after nearly 20 years behind bars.
