Better yet, read Howie Carr's "The Brothers Bulger."
A few years back a mobster called "Cadillac Frank" Salemme was on trial at the Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston for several murders.Stevie Flemmi was the Government's star witness and I wanted to hear his testimony so I attended a couple of days of the trial.
Fred Wyshak questioned him first and went through his many crimes in great detail...to give him credibilty with the jury I assume. When Wyshak was done it was the Defense's turn. His first question to Stevie was "Mr Flemmi,would you say that you've killed *more* than fifty people or *fewer* than fifty?"
Without batting an eyelash Flemmi says "I've killed about fifty people"
Howie Carr and I were in the courtroom when he made this statement. Whenever I see Howie we chuckle about it.
