US seeks 10-year sentence for Whitey Bulger's lover Catherine Greig
By Denise Lavoie, Associated Press / June 8, 2012
BOSTON
U.S. prosecutors asked Friday that the girlfriend of a violent mobster who famously eluded authorities for 16 years on the run be sentenced to a decade in prison.
In a sentencing memo filed in court, prosecutors said 61-year-old Catherine Greig deserves the long sentence above federal sentencing guidelines because of the length of time she harbored James "Whitey" Bulger as a fugitive and the number of things she did to protect him.
Greig, 61, pleaded guilty to three charges in March and is scheduled to be sentenced Tuesday. She admitted using aliases and obtaining Bulger's prescription medications by pretending to be his wife. The couple was caught in California last June.
The 82-year-old Bulger is charged with participating in 19 murders as head of a Boston-area Irish gang.

She's probably safer in jail than on the street. At least Whitey will probably be dead by the time she's released.

Accused U.S. mobster's girlfriend gets 8-year sentence
BOSTON | Tue Jun 12, 2012 2:10pm EDT
(Reuters) - A judge sentenced the girlfriend of reputed U.S. mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger to eight years in prison on Tuesday for her role in helping him evade arrest for 16 years.
Judge Douglas Woodcock also imposed on Catherine Greig a $150,000 fine and ordered her to serve three years of supervised release once she is out of prison.
Greig pleaded guilty in March to charges of conspiracy to harbor a fugitive, conspiracy to commit identity fraud and identity fraud. Prosecutors had sought 10 years in prison while her attorney had recommended 27 months.
