Mass. mobster's lawyer pleads for delay in trial
BOSTON (AP) -- A lawyer for mobster James "Whitey" Bulger has pleaded with a judge to delay his trial, saying it wouldn't be fair to the former leader of the Winter Hill Gang to go to trial with an unprepared defense.
But a prosecutor said Bulger has already received "a 16-year continuance" in his trial by fleeing Boston and staying on the run all those years. He accused Bulger of trying to stall his trial indefinitely.
U.S. District Judge Richard Stearns didn't immediately rule Thursday on the defense request to move the trial from March until next November.
Bulger is accused of playing a role in 19 murders. His lawyer has said Bulger plans to testify about his claim he received immunity to commit crimes while he was an FBI informant on the Mafia.

Teen in devastated Okla. town handing out hugs
May 25, 2013 02:26 GMT
MOORE, Okla. (AP) -- The people of the Oklahoma town where a deadly tornado struck could use just about everything -- cleaning supplies, food, water, shelter.
Thirteen-year-old Halle Carr thought residents of her hometown could also use a hug after the twister Monday that killed 24 people in Moore.
Halle has been standing on a corner with a white sign that reads: "Need a hug? I am here!" And people are taking her up on the offer.
On Friday, people in work trucks, cars and vans loaded with belongings rolled down their windows and reached out their arms to the girl. Some shouted words of encouragement.
Halle said it makes her feel good to spread a little cheer. She said she'll come out every day, as long as she thinks she's needed.
