Accused of 19 murders and racketeering, the infamous gangster has been on trial for nearly 9 weeks. Now 83, he was captured two years ago after 16 years on the run.

Authorities say Stephen "Stippo" Rakes was poisoned by a man who owed him money and had no connection to James "Whitey" Bulger.

Called a "coward" by the wife of an alleged victim, Bulger said he would not testify because his trial was a "sham."

The notorious gangster was wanted for his alleged role in 19 murders. Now 81, he turned his FBI "handlers" into informants. Bulger was captured in Santa Monica, Calif. with longtime girlfriend Catherine Greig.
