Description

The Winter Hill Gang boss on his way to trial—“Helicopter Ride—hoping it crashes!”

Rare glossy 4 x 5.75 full-length photo of a manacled Whitey Bulger being escorted to a helicopter prior to his trial in Boston, lengthily signed on the reverse in black ballpoint, “Helicopter Ride—hoping it crashes! Media made big thing of using Coast Guard Copter and that put an end to it. Big convoy guns blue lights all the way to Court House in Boston from Plymouth Jail 40 miles each way—Waste of tax payers $ just to put on media circus—four months of this. Bought & paid for witnesses—fair trial impossible is what I had to say ‘I don’t recognize this as a court of Law it’s a sham trial do what you want—end of story.’ James Whitey Bulger 1428AZ.” In fine condition. The first signed item of the Boston crime boss we have ever offered. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
