Hitman gets another 25 years in prison for mafia murder

Former mob hitman Freddy Geas was bored in prison. He decided to liven things up by beating Whitey Bulger to death. The former notorious Boston gangster didn’t last long in Hazelton Penitentiary, he was pronounced dead after only a few hours. Contrary to popular belief, Geas didn’t beat Whitey with “a lock attached to a belt.Freddy made that clear in court during the hearing about his sentence.

Still in prison

PhotosFreddy” Geas does not mind that he was sentenced to 25 years in prison on Friday, September 6. The “former mafia hitman” is already for life. He proudly admitted that he had beaten James “WhiteyBulger in 2018.

There wasn’t much reason to deny it and by cooperating with the guard he got a light sentence. He was afraid they would do something very drastic as punishment. Like take away his TV privileges.

For the sake of completeness: Geas cheerfully confessed to being guilty of “intentional manslaughter and assault resulting in serious bodily harm.The judge sentenced him to an additional 25 years in prison, after he had completed the life sentence he was already serving.

Bulger was given a chance to escape the Florida humidity, if not custody, with a trip to “the troubled American prison in northern West Virginia.“

The prosecutors alleged:Geas repeatedly struck the 89-year-old Bulger in the head with a lock attached to a belt.“Objection,” the defendant stated.Defense attorneys disputed this characterization, claiming that Geas had hit Bulger with his fist.“

The Just Us department had already decided last year:that it would not seek the death penalty against him for the murder of Bulger.“He would love that. The extra prison sentence means he can kiss any chance of parole goodbye.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Bulger was also a paid traitor for the federal government.

Head of the Irish Mafia

Bulger’s gang of mostly Irish mobsters gave the Italians a run for their money. While the Sicilians controlled New York and New Jersey, the Irish held Boston in an iron fist. In the 1970s and ’80s, Bulger was also a paid rat for the feds. He kept the FBI well informed about what his chief rival was up to, the Federal Bureau of Instigation alleges.

“Bulger strongly denied that he was ever a government informant.“It didn’t make it any easier to get a life insurance policy. He knew full well that any prison sentence would mean a death sentence, so he ran and hid.

Whitey became one of the country’s most wanted fugitives after he fled Boston in 1994. The handler he denies tipping him off “that he was about to be charged.“

While the Sicilians controlled New York and New Jersey, the Irish held Boston in check with an iron fist.

He managed to hide for 16 years. He was caught in 2013 at the age of 81. They sent him to prison for “11 murders and dozens of other gang crimes.“

Massachusetts mobster Paul J. DeCologero got four years extra for serving as a lookout. A third inmate, Sean McKinnon, lied to FBI agents, but they said, so what? Everyone does that, even FBI agents.McKinnon received no additional prison time and was sent back to Florida to complete his parole.“

It appears from the records of the proceedings that “inmates learned in advance that Bulger would arrive at the West Virginia facility. DeCologero and Geas spent about seven minutes in Bulger’s cell during the attack.“One prisoner”testified before a grand jury that DeCologero told him that Bulger was a “to steal‘ and they planned to kill him as soon as he came into their unit.That’s what happens to snitch’s in prison.
