Murder, Inc. - Experts say Whitey could cash in
on his brutal bio [taxpayers to pay legal bills]
"If convicted, accused mass murderer James “Whitey” Bulger could make
a killing selling his blood-soaked biography to a publishing house
or Hollywood studio, experts say, thanks in part to state lawmakers,
who for years have refused to bar cons from cashing in on their crimes."
"With no notoriety for profit law on the books, it’s not just Bulger’s
secrets from 16 years on the lam that are potentially worth big bucks.
... Notoriety for profit laws have been adopted by Texas, California,
Florida, Montana, Alabama, New Jersey, Utah and Michigan
... Victims’ families say the idea of Bulger making money off
allegedly murdering 19 people is too much to bear.
“Free speech? He’s an animal. To me, he isn’t worth the air he breathes.

NO cheers, unfortunately.

Good. I hope he does. The next of kin of his victims can then sue and have something to collect. As OJ lost his Superbowl ring.
Any proceeds should go to the victims families
Martin Scorsese scored big with "The Departed", a.k.a., the Whitey Bulger story.
I don't know what type of people who would want these things, but it sounds pretty sick to me.
It’s usual these days to make murder and murderers profit... they pay those lawyers well, you know, who profit from it all, and, besides, our government is also on the bandwaggon of getting leverage against its victims via stealing property and non negociable items like firearms.
The Constitution was a signed contract and document, by the way... but, whatever, marriage, life, business, etc... it means nothing to these thugs.
I think he should cash in on it and every single penny be divided up among the victims’ families.
First of all, will WB face charges in state or federal court?
perhaps they can drag this out long enough
so WB dies.
I am against criminals making money in this way
