Howie Carr – Night of Crime

The 2014 edition of Howie Carr's Night of Crime will focus on the
incredible trial of Whitey Bulger in Boston
last summer. In his usual raconteur style, Carr will include inside stories
about the testimony, and what the TV cameras didn’t record, because they
weren’t allowed inside the courtroom. He will show photos of Bulger’s victims,
before and after, some of which may be a bit R-rated for younger children. Carr
will explain the mysterious murder of Stippo Rakes, and what’s next for Whitey.
As much as you read in 'Ratman,'
there’s more, and Carr will tell you all about it. 

Howie Carr is a Boston radio legend, having held the mic at WRKO for more than 20 years. Today, he's
a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame, and consistently ranked by Talkers magazine, as one of America's
top radio talk show hosts. He is also an award winning front-page columnist for
the Boston Herald. 

Carr is the author of two New York Times best-sellers,
The Brothers Bulger and Hitman. His most recent book, Rifleman,
is a look into the life and mind of Whitey Bulger’s partner, Stevie Flemmi.
Carr has been writing about Whitey Bulger for more than 30 years. Before Bulger
fled in 1994, Carr was such an implacable foe of the serial killing gangster
that Whitey and a henchman allegedly tried to kill him as he left his house in
suburban Boston – an incident reported in 2006
on 60 Minutes. Last summer,
Bulger unsuccessfully tried to have him banned from the courtroom. Ratman:
The Trial and Conviction of Whitey Bulger is the last chapter, completing a
series of fascinating books detailing organized crime in Boston. 

Sponsored by the Friends of the Milford Town Library, this event is free
and open to the public.
