Inmate Sentenced for Role in James 'Whitey' Bulger's Prison Killing

Paul J. DeCologero receives over four years for acting as lookout during the 2018 murder of the notorious Boston gangster.

DeCologero pleaded guilty to an assault charge, avoiding a potential 10-year sentence.
Prosecutors clarified that DeCologero did not physically assault Bulger but served as a lookout.
Fotios 'Freddy' Geas, the alleged assailant, faces a hearing in September and could receive a life sentence.
Sean McKinnon, initially charged as a lookout, was sentenced to time served after pleading guilty to lying to federal agents.
The Justice Department's inspector general cited mismanagement and incompetence at the Bureau of Prisons as contributing factors in Bulger's death.
