Whitey Bulger was convicted at the age of 81 of being responsible for 19 murders over a lifetime as a [[Boston]] crime boss. The actual number of killings Bulger was responsible for is likely much higher.

A former member of the [[Massschusetts]] Parole Board claimed four members of the rival gang had been framed by the FBI and Bulger for a 1965 gangland killing and were unjustly convicted. Mueller as an Assistant US Attorney and Acting US attorney wrote letters to the parole and pardons board throughout the 1980s opposing clemency for the four innocent men framed by FBI. Meanwhile Bulger's criminal career flourished with Mueller and the FBI removing his rivsls from the streets.
