Prosecutors will ask a federal judge to sentence the longtime girlfriend of Boston gangster James "Whitey" Bulger (BUHL'-jur) to three more years in prison for refusing to testify about whether anyone else helped Bulger after he fled the city.
Catherine Greig (grehg) already is serving an 8-year sentence for helping Bulger during his 16 years on the run. They were captured in Santa Monica, California, in 2011.
Greig is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to a criminal contempt charge for refusing to testify before a grand jury.
Her lawyer argues that no more than six months should be added to her sentence.
The 86-year-old Bulger was convicted in 2013 for playing a role in 11 murders. He's serving a life sentence.
