A sweeping 73-page indictment unveiled Dec. 17 blames the co-founders and 12 employees of a Massachusetts company for running and profiting from an unsafe steroid-making operation that led to fatal infections across the country in 2012. The U.S. Attorney's Office charged owner and head pharmacist Barry Cadden and supervisory pharmacist Glenn Chin of New England Compounding Company with 25 acts of second-degree murder - although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ultimately tallied 64 deaths in nine states linked to the steroid-caused meningitis outbreak.

James "Whitey" Bulger, the feared Boston mob boss who became one of the nation's most-wanted fugitives, was convicted Monday in a string of 11 killings and dozens of other gangland crimes, many of them committed while he was said to be an FBI informant. Bulger, 83, stood silently and showed no reaction to verdict, which brought to a close a case that not only transfixed the city with its grisly violence but exposed corruption inside the Boston FBI and an overly cozy relationship between the bureau and its underworld snitches. Bulger was charged primarily with racketeering, which listed 33 criminal acts - among them,...

Yesterday Catherine Greig, girlfriend of notorious gangster James "Whitey" Bulger, admitted to helping her man elude capture for almost sixteen years in a U.S. District Court in Boston. The 60-year-old women was soft-spoken and tearful, but Steve Davis, the brother of one of the 19 victims Bulger allegedly murdered, insisted that she did not deserve any sympathy. Davis argued, "She's not what she appears to be. She's a monster." Greig ultimately plead guilty to charges of conspiracy to harbor a fugitive, conspiracy to commit identity fraud, and identity fraud.
While her precise prison term remains unknown, U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz assured critics that Greig's sentence is going to be "significant." Following the hearing, she stated, "Catherine Greig is not a victim. She stands a convicted felony... There was no deal, certainly no sweetheart deal." While the actions of this particular mob wife are undoubtedly extreme (and illegal), I couldn't...

Swartz allegedly broke into a wiring closet to access MIT’s network and download works from Jstor, a digital archive of academic works. “Stealing is stealing, whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data, or dollars,” U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz said in a statement. “It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it...
