James "Whitey" Bulger's lawyers have submitted a new, pared-down witness list for his racketeering trial.
Bulger's lawyers had submitted a list with the names of more than 80 potential witnesses. Their new list, filed early Tuesday, contains 37 names. It includes a man who was wrongly convicted in a gangland slaying because of FBI corruption.
Joseph Salvati spent more than 30 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit after corrupt FBI agents withheld evidence.

A former FBI agent is expected back on the stand Tuesday.
The 83-year-old Bulger is accused of playing a role in 19 killings in the 1970s and `80s.
