The man accused of acting as lookout during the prison killing of the notorious Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger won’t serve additional prison time after pleading guilty Monday to a charge of lying to federal agents.
Sean McKinnon, one of three men indicted in the 2018 prison beating death of 89-year-old Bulger, is now set to be released from custody after a judge on Monday sentenced him to time served. Bulger was infamously the head of the Boston-area Irish mafia Winter Hill Gang, who spent 16 years on the run before being captured in 2011.
