BOSTON (AP) -- Jurors in the racketeering trial of reputed crime boss James "Whitey" Bulger finished a fourth day of deliberations Friday without reaching a verdict.
The jury will be back Monday after deliberating for about 28 hours since first getting the case Tuesday.
Bulger, 83, is charged in a sweeping racketeering indictment with playing a role in 19 killings during the 1970s and '80s. He was one of the nation's most wanted fugitives after fleeing Boston in 1994 on the eve of an indictment. He was finally captured in 2011 in Santa Monica, Calif., where he had been living in a rent-controlled apartment near the beach with his longtime girlfriend.
Prosecutors said many of the crimes allegedly took place while Bulger was an FBI informant and was being protected by corrupt agents. Bulger's lawyers strongly deny that he was an informant.
About two dozen family members of people allegedly killed by Bulger and his gang have waited at the federal courthouse for a verdict. On Friday, many of them sat together in the cafeteria, sharing a meal and playing cards.
