Daily Talker: 'My Life Was Wasted'

Convicted South Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger is giving advice to a group of local teenagers who profiled him for a history project.

Some students at the Apponequet Regional High School in Lakeville wanted to think outside the box for a competition asking them to look at leadership, and reached out to Bulger.

To their surprise, he wrote back.

He didn't comment on his crimes, but did say his "life was wasted and spent foolishly, brought shame and suffering on my parents and siblings and will end soon."

He also told the students "I know only one thing for sure – if you want to make crime pay – 'Go to Law School.'"

Bulger is serving life in prison for 11 murders and a host of other crimes. His appeal is set to be heard in July.

What do you think of what Whitey Bulger wrote to some local teens?  Do you believe what he said?
