NightSide - A Letter From Whitey Bulger

BOSTON (CBS) - Three local high school girls decided that for a leadership project, they would write a letter to the infamous crime boss Whitey Bulger in the Florida prison he now calls home. Surprisingly, they received a response from the mob boss, in which he expressed regret over his choices in life, and advised against a life of crime. We'll talk with one of the girls, Michaela Arguin about the project and the unexpected response they received. Are you surprised to hear Bulger look back on his life with regret? Or do you think he only regrets getting caught? Where is the apology to the families of his victims?
