A new report from the U.S. Justice Department found some mistakes were made by the Federal Bureau of Prisons before Boston gangster Whitey Bulger's death.
Bulger died in 2018 after he was attacked in prison. The DOJ said other inmates had "easy access" because Bulger had been placed with the general prison population.
Officials the the bureau tried to downplay Bulger's health so he could be moved to another prison.
The 89-year-old was killed just hours after being transferred to another facility in west Virginia.
A Vermont man, Sean McKinnon, of Montpelier, served two years after Bulger's murder. Back in August, he was charged with making false statements in connection with that attack.
