Thomas E. Peisch was quoted in a Reuters article entitled "
Sentencing to be last chapter in Boston mobster's reign of terror." The article reports on the upcoming sentencing hearing for mobster James "Whitey" Bulger," who was convicted last August of 31 criminal counts, 11 of which include murder. The victims' families will be given the opportunity to speak at the sentencing hearing scheduled to take place this week. In June 2012, members of the victims’ families spoke at the sentencing hearing of Catherine Greig, Bulger’s girlfriend, calling her among other things, a “cold-hearted criminal.” Mr. Peisch, a former federal prosecutor commented, "We're going to have more of the same and I expect that it would be even more emotional. They'll point their fingers at him and he'll sit there shackled in his chair and I expect it will be even more of a spectacle that the last one."
