This is an insane case on so many levels
Just this month (Mar) Bulgers father lost his case to try and remove Venebles from Witness Protection which is how this ended up back in the news (again)

Backstory
Two 10 year old boys kidnap, then brutally torture and rape a 2 year old boy
Torture was so severe coroner states can not determine cause of death (as more than 40 injuries would have killed the boy)
They hide body under debris on train track (where body gets cut in half)
10 year olds are sentenced to life but politics change and they get let out early (8 years in prison)
Both of the 10 year olds are put into witness protection program (multiple times as through own stupidity and others investigating they are discovered)
Despite being on parole engaging in online pedophilia and multiple times arrested and sent to jail (how the heck does someone end up spending only 3 years in prison for crimes like this??? Three separate trials for hundreds of offences over a 7 year span?)

The judge put an insane gag order on anything to do with the case
Court has actually wasted their time chasing and arresting anyone who talks about the killers

Also for those who are interested there is a movie made about the case "Detainment" but even being cleaned up for tv is pretty dark
