We'll begin today with the trial of Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger. Testimony has been moving faster than expected, and federal prosecutors plan to rest their case by the end of this week.

Today in court, Bulger's one-time associate, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi once again took the stand, this time under withering cross-examination from Bulger's defense team.
