just got back, waiting on sentence.

Families of the alleged victims of mobster James Whitey Bulger could know the fate of his longtime moll Catherine Greig within the hour but they won’t be hearing from Greig herself.
The former Quincy dental hygienist, 61, this afternoon declined to address the families at her sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court, which has been ongoing since 9:30 a.m.
Steven Davis, whose sister Debra Davis, Bulger is accused of throttling to death in 1981 — one of 19 murders he’ll be tried for in November — complained to Judge Douglas P. Woodlock that Greig didn’t even have the heart to look them in the eye.
“Catherine, you’re a dirty whore,” Davis said.
Greig winced, and at one point began to weep, as Davis and other family members lashed out at her in court.
Prosecutors asked that Greig serve no less than 10 years for helping Bulger, 82, evade capture for 16 years. Greig’s defense team has asked for her to serve 2 years and three months, however, Woodlock today tacked on enhanced penalties for her lying about her financial assets and knowledge of dozens of weapons the couple had secreted in walls of their Santa Monica hideout. Under those penalties, Woodlock is unlikely to sentence her to anything less than seven years.
Greig pleaded guilty in March to charges of harboring a fugitive, conspiracy and identity fraud. Bulger, 82, is slated to go on trial in November for the slaughters of 19 women and men.
