===Whitey Bulger===
Whitey Bulger was convicted at the age of 81 of 19 murders during his lifetime career as a [[Boston]] crime boss. The actual number of killings Bulger was responsible for is likely much higher. Bulger was an FBI informant against a rival gang, and later spent sixteen years on the run as number two on the FBI Most Wanted list, behind [[Osama bin Laden]]. While on the run witnesses and evidence against Bulger continued to disappeared.

While on the run witnesses and evidence against Bulger continued to disappear.
A former [[Massachusetts]] parole and pardons board commissioner claimed four members of a rival gang had been framed by the FBI and Bulger for a 1965 gangland killing, and were unjustly convicted. Mueller, as Assistant US Attorney and Acting US Attorney, opposed clemency for the four innocent men who were framed by the FBI throughout the 1980s. Meanwhile Bulger's criminal career flourished with Mueller and the FBI removing his rivals from the streets. Exculpatory witnesses were murdered.
