To the crowds that gather early outside Moakley Federal Court House on the South Boston waterfront, the trial of James ‘Whitey’ Bulger is simply the biggest show in town.
This is the man who once allegedly ruled Boston’s criminal underworld, who stands accused on 32 counts of racketeering, gun-peddling, extortion, money laundering and of being involved in at least 19 murders.
It is gruesome. It is sensational. Corruption, murder, mayhem..the trial which started this week is the stuff of Hollywood movies.
But to the man who sits front left in court room no 11 each morning and who will sit there every single day of a trial which may run four months, it is something quite different.
To Steve Davis, 55, witnessing this is as close to vengeance as he is ever likely to get.
He sits and he seethes, willing Bulger, now 83, to look him in the eye just once.
Speaking to MailOnline he says: ‘It’s like a man looking at a naked woman and you can’t reach out and touch her.
‘Or a starving man looking at a steak and he can’t reach it. That’s the feeling, seeing him. It’s something that you want so bad and it’s out of your reach. I see him and I want to put my hands on him but I can’t.’
For Mr Davis revenge and justice are almost indistinguishable and he wants them for the murder of his sister.
Debbie Davis was 26 when she was murdered. She disappeared in 1981 and her body went undiscovered until 2000 when she was dug out of the marsh at Neponset River. She had been strangled, and like so many of the alleged victims of Whitey Bulger, she had been dismembered - her teeth pulled out and her hands cut off to avoid identification.
Her murder stands out on Bulger’s list of charges as one of only two women he accused of killing and one of the charges he most hotly denies.
Killing women, he has said, is ‘against his code.’
Mr Davis snears: ‘Being a rat was supposed to be against their code but he was the biggest rat in the history of organized crime. He put away the Cosa Nostra.
‘Did Whitey kill her? Oh yeh. Hands on.’
