Judge Allows Suit Vs Mass. Mobster to Move Forward Sep 14th 2012, 11:15 A federal judge has ruled that the family of one of James "Whitey" Bulger's alleged victims can continue with a federal lawsuit against FBI agents who monitored the mobster while he was an informant. U.S. District Judge William Young said in a ruling issued Thursday that a lawsuit by Michael Donahue's family against agents can continue despite of an appeals court ruling that dismissed a claim against the federal government because the statute of limitations had expired. The Boston Globe ( http://b.globe.com/OuidDa ) reports that Young said in his ruling that the case against the agents was filed within the time frame required for a civil suit against individual agents, and so it can continue. His family says Donahue was an innocent victim who was giving a ride home to Bulger's target. ——— Information from: The Boston Globe, http://www.boston.com/globe
