A federal appeals court judge said Tuesday that he is concerned that the public may not believe that James “Whitey” Bulger will get a fair trial if the case goes forward before US District Judge Richard G. Stearns, who was a top federal prosecutor while the gangster was an FBI informant.
Senior Judge Bruce M. Selya spoke about public confidence in the courts during a hearing in Boston where Bulger’s defense lawyer, J.W. Carney Jr. asked the Court of Appeals for the First Circuit to remove Stearns from Bulger’s impending trial.

Whitrey is still pulling strings.
This episode of the drama is an unnecessary government expense (for both sides, because taxpayers are paying for the prosecution and defense). Judge Stearns has to be removed and will be removed. That was obvious from the outset when Mr. Carney made the motion. Move on!
