One of the government’s key witnesses against James 'Whitey' Bulger returns to federal court Wednesday for a third day of testimony.

In two days on the stand so far, John Martorano has admitted to committing 20 murders. Eleven of them, he said, with Bulger alongside him, or in on the plot.

WBUR's David Boeri has been in the courtroom, and joined Morning Edition to discuss Martorano's testimony so far.
