BOSTON (Reuters) - James "Whitey" Bulger, once the most feared mobster in Boston, on Monday was found guilty of 31 out of 32 criminal counts contained in a sweeping murder and racketeering indictment.


But jurors found that prosecutors had proven their case against Bulger on only 11 of the 19 murders dating back to the 1970s and 1980s.

The 83-year-old defendant faces the possibility of life in prison.
