Catherine Greig pleads guilty to contempt
Risking life imprisonment to stand by her man, the longtime girlfriend of mobster James “Whitey” Bulger pleaded guilty yesterday to defying a court order that she tell a grand jury who helped the couple live large on the lam for 16 years.
Not even a promise of immunity could loosen the lips of Catherine Greig.
“I never asked for immunity,” Greig, 64, told U.S. District Court Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV.
Greig has no plea agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s Office to limit additional prison time she may receive when she’s sentenced April 28. Criminal contempt carries no statutory minimum or maximum penalty, and when Saylor asked Greig if she understood he could put her away for good, she responded, “I do.”
