United States First Circuit

Sentence of eight years imposed on defendant, for various crimes she committed while on the run with fugitive, James "Whitey" Bulger, is affirmed, where: 1) the district court did not err in finding that defendant's conduct was not limited to harboring Bulger and refusing to cap her offense level accordingly; 2) there was no error in applying the firearm or obstruction of justice enhancement; and 3) the judge's decision to let the family members of Bulger's victims speak was not an abuse of his wide discretion.
