A former Mafia hitman who was sentenced to life in prison will receive more time for the murder of mobster James ‘Whitey’ Bulger

A former Mafia hitman already serving a life sentence was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison for the 2018 fatal prison beating of notorious Boston mobster James “Whitey” Bulger.

Prosecutors said Fotios “Freddy” Geas used a belt lock to repeatedly strike the 89-year-old Bulger in the head hours after he arrived at the troubled U.S. prison in Hazelton from another Florida prison in October 2018. Defense attorneys disputed that characterization on Friday, saying Geas struck Bulger with his fist.

The Justice Department said last year that it would not seek the death penalty against Geas for Bulger’s murder.

The sentences – 15 years for manslaughter and 10 years for assault causing serious bodily harm – will be consecutive to Geas’ current life sentence.
