BOSTON (AP) — Some things seem to capture the public perception of gangster James "Whitey" Bulger's life: a sterling silver "psycho killer" skull ring, a rat-shaped pencil holder, a stack of books about the mafia.
But others tell of a mundane, domestic life in hiding with his longtime girlfriend: a coffee pot, a muffin pan, a few dozen T-shirts and pajamas.
In his dutiful and forceful concession remarks in November 2014, John Miller, the Republican candidate for Massachusetts Attorney General, gave fair warning: "The fight for impartial, fact based justice from a non-partisan attorney general goes on." Miller, even in defeat, believed – and presumably feared — that the Bay State was still in "desperate need" of an attorney general who would take a "professional, not a political approach" to the office.
