Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi Mobster

- The transcripts read like the script from a mob movie, but today the testimony in a Boston courtroom was very real, and a chilling reminder of the city's once violent underworld.
Convicted killer Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi spent a second day on the stand in a Boston wrongful death lawsuit.
75-year-old Flemmi showed no emotion as he described the 1981 killing of Debra Davis, who he had previously dated.
Flemmi testified Thursday that James "Whitey" Bulger, the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, wanted to kill Davis after he learned Flemmi had told her that they were both working as FBI informants. He also said Bulger resented the amount of time Flemmi was spending with her.
He said he agreed to lure Davis to a vacant home he owned in South Boston, where Bulger was waiting. Bulger, he said, "grabbed her by the throat and strangled her."
Flemmi said he watched and did nothing as Bulger killed Davis.
"This happened very quickly, a very traumatic moment in my life," Flemmi said.
He said Bulger carried her down the stairs while continuing to strangle her.

Joseph Valachi, Genovese Crime Family

JOE VALACHI--The first major Mafia turncoat, this drug-dealing soldier in the family of Vito Genovese introduced the term ‘la cosa nostra’ (meaning ‘this thing of ours’) to the English lexicon. He turned informant after learning that his boss had decided he had to go, and signaled his decision with an infamous “kiss of death” in the federal pen in Atlanta, Georgia.
Attorney General Robert Kennedy called his testimony “the biggest intelligence breakthrough yet in combating organized crime.” His evidence never directly convicted a single mobster, but his 1963 televised appearance at a Senate committee investigating organized crime lifted the veil on the Mafia in America.
He tried but failed to hang himself in his cell and ultimately died of a heart attack in 1971, at the age of 67
