James "Whitey" Bulger brought his murder trial to a flamboyant end today, refusing to take the stand and telling the court to "do want yous want with me."
He decision prompted an outburst from Patricia Donahue, whose husband Michael was an innocent victim shot dead by Bulger in 1982.
"You're a coward!" Donahue yelled.
Bulger, 83, told the court he will not take the stand to testify in his defense, but when he was asked by federal Judge Denise Casper whether he made that decision voluntarily, he began a short rant.
"I'm making the choice involuntarily. I feel like I have been choked off from giving an adequate defense,'' Bulger said while the jury was not present. "That's the way it is. As far as I'm concerned I did not get a fair trial. This is a sham."
"Do what yous [cq] want with me,'' Bulger said, his face flushed red against his black long-sleeved T-shirt.
