He was represented by the procureur of the criminal defence J.W. Carney Jr., who has been appointed by the Bowler last week. Bulger had asked the Court to appoint a lawyer to represent him, arguing that it could not afford a because the Government has seized more than $800,000 in cash from his apartment after his arrest.Bulger, 81 and his girlfriend, Catherine Greig, 60, were arrested on June 22 after the Federal Bureau of Investigation, working on a tip, attracted the fugitive of an apartment building in Santa Monica, California.The trial last about four weeks and the Government called 40 witnesses, Assistant U.S. Attorney Brian Kelly said in Court today.Bulger was wanted in connection with at least 19 murders committed between 1973 and 1985 and a variety of crimes, including extortion, drug trafficking, loan sharking, and bookmaking.
