(CNN) -- The girlfriend of James "Whitey" Bulger was sentenced to eight years in federal prison Tuesday for identity fraud and helping the reputed mob boss avoid capture for 16 years. Catherine Greig, who prosecutors said was Bulger's "partner" in avoiding capture, must also pay a $150,000 fine, U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock ruled. Greig, 61, declined to speak before her sentencing, but her lawyer said afterward that she has no regrets. "She was in love with the guy and lived with him for 16 years," J.W. Carney said. "Of course she doesn't regret it." Bulger and Greig were captured at their Santa Monica, California, apartment a year ago. He faces trial later this year, accused of committing 19 murders during a reign of terror in South Boston during the 1970s and 1980s.
