Judge approves sale of James 'Whitey' Bulger belongings
The move by Judge Denise Casper allows the US Marshals Service to auction off Bulger’s belongings so the proceeds can be divided among the families of his murder and extortion victims.
The items include a gold and diamond Claddagh ring, a replica of a 1986 Stanley Cup championship ring, electronics, and other items found in Bulger’s apartment when he was captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011. Bulger spent 16 years on the run. Authorities also found $822,000 in cash.
