Flemmi- Bulger: Boston Judge awards $1M to Davis family
A judge slammed “arrogant” and heartless investigators yesterday as he handed out $1 million more to the family of a woman murdered during the reign of Southie mobster James “Whitey” Bulger.
U.S. District Court Judge William G. Young wrote that the family of Debra Davis was abandoned by rogue FBI agents.
The judge ruled the Davis’ estate should be awarded $1 million more from the feds, for a total of $1.35 million for her estate. The government has 60 days to appeal.
“I’m surprised, in a very good way,” said attorney Paul Griffin, who represents the Davis family.
Davis, 26, was murdered in 1981 after Bulger became enraged over her dating his partner in crime, Stephen “The Rifleman” Flemmi.
