FBI Heads Up Led To Innocent Man’s Murder

September 22. 2008

A former Miami FBI agent, John Connolly, who is on trial for murder, gave the mob a heads up that led to the cold blooded murder of an innocent man. Makes you wonder.

Considering the FBI let 9/11 happen and separately sat back and watched the 7/7 bombings happen in Britain, an ally of America, whilst they had credible information on the people that went on to carry out the terrible attack, one has to wonder what the FBI’s agenda was in the Bulger case, where they let an innocent person be murdered.

Hit man says FBI warning led to 1982 Fla. murder

MIAMI (AP) — A self-described mob hit man testified Thursday that he was reluctant to kill a gambling executive but was convinced by a Boston organized crime kingpin that a trusted FBI agent indicated the gangsters would go to prison if the executive lived.

John Martorano said he believed Winter Hill Gang leader James "Whitey" Bulger had been warned by FBI agent John Connolly, who is on trial in Miami for murder and conspiracy in the executive's death. Martorano, a prosecution witness, conceded under questioning by Connolly's lawyer that he had to take Bulger's word for it.

"I felt I knew him. We were partners. I mean, we had a lot of crimes we committed together. I felt he was a standup guy," Martorano said.

The warning relayed by Bulger, Martorano said, was that former World Jai-Alai president John Callahan was likely to become the focus of an FBI probe into another murder and that he would probably crumble under the intense pressure and implicate gang members.

"We were all going to go to prison for the rest of our lives if Callahan didn't hold up," Martorano testified.

In July 1982, Martorano fatally shot the 45-year-old Callahan, whose body was later found stuffed into the trunk of his silver Cadillac at Miami International Airport.
