Defense attorneys often say the most difficult client to defend is the one who’s truly innocent. An innocent person with no links to sketchy people isn’t able to provide a premeditated, bogus alibi for whereabouts during the time of the crime, he’s not able to throw a criminal rival to the prosecution in order to get the heat off him, he can’t give up co-conspirators for a reduced sentence. All the guy can say is he doesn’t know what happened, and he has no clue who would commit the crime. That’s the American Justice System hard at work in blind pursuit of the truth

There ya go...little quicker pace. Woah woah slow down! There ya go. Perfect, Johnny.”
No, he speaks with "brevity" because he has to be careful what he says as he doesn't want to slip up and admit to an illegal act he committed for which his deal didn't cover.
LMAO. man the mob is fascinating, but ratting is apart of the game in the criminal world and it has brought down a lot of powerful mobsters and gangstas

@Gaylord Focker he was Boston's biggest nightmare. Ever. Still haunts my neighborhood in southie to this day. His impact is felt. And still HONORED. And his will still runs thru our irish blood. Always will. #WHTID
@Gaylord Focker glad to see you just know so much. I guess without being from here, from this blood line, you wouldn't understand And thats fine Just watch ya mouth
He's a depressed individual , i know you regret things you did when younger and i know from experience you regret killing somebody , i think of that man daily and it gets worse with each day passing, a life taken is a life god made and created and when you ruin that you will pay dearly, even if you dont believe in God and Christianity, in your gut you know there really is a creator of man
chris frye everyone’s different, just because you say you feel guilt, this guy and others may not. Watch interviews with most serial killers and you can see they still enjoyed what they did.
He was a killer of scumbags . Everyone makes choices in life. He grew up at the combat zone in Boston , a virtual devil's playground. Who cares if he's white or black , but he could listen to him speak he said. Most likely he's white and just curious how one could become the way he is.
Of course. Money talks. America worships the money god.There are two justice systems in America: one for the rich and powerful and the other one is for the rest of us. I know this from personal experience.

joe nobody He’s more sympathetic than the iceman. For one he said he regretted the few innocent people killed by accident. I’m not saying he’s a good guy and he is definitely ruthless and cold blooded but he doesn’t strike me as a total pure evil sociopath the way Richard or Kuklinski or Roy Demeo was. Unlike them the people he intentionally killed were exclusively either other criminals or people who did something to provoke them.
Say what you will but I'm sure he regrets it. As we get older we can't shake our past and it follows us like our shadow because it is our shadow. The sense of regret I hold for everyone I harmed in any way, great or small sits heavy on me and is like a dark cloud over what could be an otherwise great day. Self forgiveness is the hardest forgiveness to grant.

How can I he ratting on a guy whose been ratting for 30 years?" ----- Never heard it put that way before. Makes sense actually, especially considering, 1, he only killed other Gangsters, and 2, he still got 14 years.
The fact that he's not dead yet leads me to believe that he got the go-ahead from up top to take out the rat. They could have got him in prison they could have gotten him by now. I mean they put Henry Hill on witness protection you noticed he's not on with his protection.
In his defense he refused to testify against his brother or anyone else. He said he would only testify against Bulger and Flemmi who were rats, and corrupt FBi agents
Where you from? How old? Cause if your boss is snitching u out and he has fbi backing whats your move cuz? Chess not checkers. Fairytale r for crash test dummies
He did it partly because Stephen Flemmi, the true monster along with Bulger, was going to blame everything on Martorano and others...what would you do in Martorano’s situation at that moment??? Take the fall for an FBI rat women murdering pedophile??? Or save yourself and protect other criminal friends with testimony only involving Connolly Flemmi and Bulger???
This is for real...I was going with a well known madam when we ran into him and he got in the back seat,she introduced me and made him promise that if I should ever seek him out,to do me a "favor"! I never had the need to look him up!

When they signed this deal with him I would be willing to bet big money that all the agents involved had the mindset of he will never make it out of prison alive. Having enemies on one side is bad enough but having them from both is a challenge that most don't come out on top. The fact that he did is pretty crazy if you think about it!
Nobody in prison had the balls to come at Johnny. And the fact is, nobody wanted to. He only testified against Bulger Flemmi and corrupt FBI agents. He flat out, refused to testify against anyone else. If Steve Flemmu had made that deal, everybody would have went to jail. Johnny kept a lot of people out of jail by ratting. And really, nobody wants to go at a guy Who's the size of an NFL full back and has killed 20 people. Especially in prison where there are no guns.
@Kenneth Gross He rated out the highest members in the Mafia and was placed under protection form assassination not to mention he served 14 years. The only way to take the Mafia down was with the corporation of the Hit men, or else they would have never have evidence to send the top guys to prison.

Johnny depp was outstanding in the movie
Hes oytstanding n everything....that man makes u believe he really is whatever chaaracter hes playing
Yes he was. The getup he had in BLACK MASS was damn good.
A rat is a rat
In his defense he refused to testify against his brother or anyone else. He said he would only testify against Bulger and Flemmi who were rats, and corrupt FBi agents
Where you from? How old? Cause if your boss is snitching u out and he has fbi backing whats your move cuz? Chess not checkers. Fairytale r for crash test dummies
He seems like a soldier, that did his ‘duty’.
His logic and justification of NOT being a rat or informer but a "government witness" is pure self delusion
He did it partly because Stephen Flemmi, the true monster along with Bulger, was going to blame everything on Martorano and others...what would you do in Martorano’s situation at that moment??? Take the fall for an FBI rat women murdering pedophile??? Or save yourself and protect other criminal friends with testimony only involving Connolly Flemmi and Bulger???
@@HayastAnFedayi "Dead ON"
Well he was gonna be fall guy like sammy the bull. Same game. Chess not checkers. Wake up
This is for real...I was going with a well known madam when we ran into him and he got in the back seat,she introduced me and made him promise that if I should ever seek him out,to do me a "favor"! I never had the need to look him up!
Nice, I was neighbors Pablo Escobar
@@DamnthatsyouFidel Castro was my 2nd grade teacher. Swear.
This stands as some scary real life story. What a twisted world. He got betrayed. Once you tamper loyalty, a sequence of events surely follow.
Live by the sword.........

They love glorifying the rats😴and I love how he says he is a government witness not a rat😂😭🙄👀
@@PresidentialWinner You just described Trump.
Jack Tate LMAO
Winter Hill was the las foothold the we the Irish had in this country☹️
@@irishsavage8715 You and the English ruined this country .
@@irishsavage8715 I wouldnt be too proud of a gang that shook down the working man & killed ladies in cold blood. Im Irish from near Boston, & those clowns can all rot.
Who’s here after watching Black Mass? I just saw it for the first time on Netflix, after seeing a 30 second meme clip on Instagram lol… it’s funny how scrolling through reels on a social media app can take you through a 3 day rabbit hole of wanting to learn about everything you can on a topic…
Im on my 12th hour lol… here i am lol
This guy is a stand up guy. This is one of the best 60minutes I've seen
How many people has Phillip Morris killed.....and still killing
Me right now
Who will pay for your sins?
Frank DeFalco ....way too many
krbgfx 😂😂😂 I was thinking the same thing as I lit a smoke
There should be a bounty on Phillip
When they signed this deal with him I would be willing to bet big money that all the agents involved had the mindset of he will never make it out of prison alive. Having enemies on one side is bad enough but having them from both is a challenge that most don't come out on top. The fact that he did is pretty crazy if you think about it!
Ppl that cooperate aren’t sent to regular prisons lol he did his time at a yard with other cooperators
@@BostonsF1nestyea his comment was pretty dumb
Nobody in prison had the balls to come at Johnny. And the fact is, nobody wanted to. He only testified against Bulger Flemmi and corrupt FBI agents. He flat out, refused to testify against anyone else. If Steve Flemmu had made that deal, everybody would have went to jail. Johnny kept a lot of people out of jail by ratting. And really, nobody wants to go at a guy Who's the size of an NFL full back and has killed 20 people. Especially in prison where there are no guns.
Wildest 60 minutes I had ever seen, when this aired.
Google it.
What’s insane is that he admitted to almost 20 killings, racketeering, extortion… then the FBI gave him 12 years and 20k to restart his life ☠️🤦♂️
"Well… there's bounty on him". I guess one hail Mary will be sufficient then, afterwards.
What a brilliant closing for this bit, though!
It was the only time he smiled
That guy is also a great closer!!
That very last question and his answer at the end of the interview is classic!! :-D
Awesome opportunity to see if the gun still works after so many years.
Is the abandoned warehouse looking building with Whitey’s chair still there? I’m sure knowing this, someone went and took it.
Hahahaha🤣🤣🤣
Witsec equivalency. Too many murderer's walk free while others ride the electric for one killing. No justice.
@Kenneth Gross He rated out the highest members in the Mafia and was placed under protection form assassination not to mention he served 14 years. The only way to take the Mafia down was with the corporation of the Hit men, or else they would have never have evidence to send the top guys to prison.

@@kiDkiDkiD12 bull.... it's just white privilege.. nick barnes had to do almost 30 yrs as an informant . And that was for drugs without multiple bodies.Man u lost in the sauce..
As someone who has deep roots into Irish Organized crime we have never claimed Winter Hill as an Irish Mob
Sneaking up on an unsuspecting person and killing them don't take any guts pure psychopath
Nah. There's just a right way and a wrong way to do anything. That's the diff between a pro and an amateur. Pros get the job done without any fuss or bluster 😆
That chair would be a cool conversation piece to have.
"Well...... if there's a bounty on him." This guy is the man!
Speaks with the brevity of a professional witness .great line.
The audio book about him is a bit lengthy but a good listen.
Great book
Chilling interview.. This dude is cold!
guy shouldnt even be out he should be serving life
Amazing how these guys dime each other out
Not really. They killed to be free so why not snitch.
It's "drop dimes on eachother". You don't know the lifestyle you don't know the lingo
@@geraldclay6685 that's very true!!
you must live it to know the true ways.
Those were some chilling last words starting @13:05. Seeing though Bulger was killed. I heard whoever did it took his eyes out literally, not to mentioned whatever else. Sounds like an ordered Green-Light to me
He was alive for it all too . It was a well orchestrated hit
@@paulfoster1019 Gosh the man was 89 years old and in a wheel chair. He was sit up by everyone and the kitchen sink. His goose was cooked time he was locked up.
He's so matter of fact it's almost comical
Damn 12 years for 20 killings. That’s wild.
This guy is awesome but not in an awesome way. So smooth it's unreal. You can tell it's really a business to him.
No you idiot that's called a sociopath. Jesus learn something will ya.
May sound weird but this guy out of all I've seen and read about felt the most "normal"
He is.
Cliff I swear we watch the same videos. It's me Corielus from Steam my friend 😁
@@Kevin3dp Small cyberspace I keep saying that :D Cheers friend.
The interviewer kinda smirks at his killing of over 20 people at 1:02. Acts like he was impressed with it.
Steve Kroft: "Simply the Best."
makes ya wonder how tough some of these dudes would be without guns.
Its not about being tough. Its the fact they could take a life and not care.
Wait, so his father taught him and raised him by “family & loyalty” but yet he turned into a snitch? That doesn’t make much sense.
Yeah stay in jail and protect the people that ratted on him for years? He did the right thing not the same as a snitch
greg trust ...I understand that’s what he did after the fact but before it he was “a government witness that help expose a web of corruption”
That’s pretty much the definition of a snitch man lol
anybody that thinks it is noble to be loyal to a fellow scumbag is an idiot and brainwashed by these credos set fourth by upper guys who would sell you out in a ny sec
He snitched on a snitch who was going to give him up
I love the ending ! "Well, there is a bounty on him. "
That was epic. What an incredible interview.
Note when He is looking down the hole in the old office, after a moment the memories appear on his face when he asked if anyone went down and never came up and he closes the door quickly...
The little smile at the end is gold!
Just think about this;
John Connolly's boss was yep you guessed it... .
Robert Mueller
Kenneth Higdon 🤯
I’d like to see him up against The Iceman.
Ice man was a serial killer and a fraud he claimed to have many mob hits that were disproved, kuklinkski killed anyone for enjoyment he was a sick man not a hit man
Iceman A PROVEN LIAR ,he had no mob connections, he was just a sick killer,all the alleged mob hits he did are nonsense. All the mob guy's that were part of the Gambinos like Dominic Montiglio have said the iceman 2as nothing to do with them
@@davidmellish3295 he was a hitter off the books fot Roy Demeo. No mob guy can say that. Facts
@@lordoffaiyum9727 No he wasn't. According to Al Demeo, Roy's son, and Mickey Featherstone from the Westies, the Iceman was a fraud. The Westies were the only Irish Gangsters outside of the Italian Mafia , that did hits for Demeo. Michael Franzese & Sammy "Bull" Gravano have said that the Iceman is a fraud and that they have plenty of made men who are not big earners and they are responsible for carrying out most of the hits for nothing.
This man grinned n said well theres a bounty on him lol dam homie still knows what's going on in the criminal world
.
He snitched, thats just a given with a snitch.
@@SpinSatx yeah true but that grin made it seem like he knew who was sending the hit on a personal note
@@joeperez538 I just don't remember if it was found out later that he was working with corrupt police to take out his rivals or if the mob put 2 & 2 together & later found out what they suspected... not like they would care, if they suspect it, that's a death sentence alone.
@@SpinSatx yeah very true bro. The end of the day u knew what u were doing so man up and don't be a Rat
@@SpinSatx how he rat? His boss wss ratting on him already hello. Should he do life after that? Chess is not checkers kid. Wake up
12:28 You do not confess to a man in a box or anywhere on earth.
Dude kills 20 people. U.S justice department, "hey man how does 14 years sound".
I'm Doing a sketch of this Guy right now, incase I see him on the street, and hide from him.
