Whitey Bulger Companion To Plead Guilty To Contempt Next Month

BOSTON (CBS) -- Catherine Greig, the long-time girlfriend of former Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger, will plead guilty to contempt early next month, the United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts announced Wednesday.

The one-count contempt indictment stems from her refusal to testify before a grand jury that was attempting to find out if anyone else helped or harbored Bulger while he was in hiding.
