A defendant in the 1987 Westies racketeering indictment, convicted in 1988 of racketeering and a cocaine conspiracy; the jury found the 1985 murder of Michael Holly proven as a predicate act. His thirty-five-year sentence was reinstated by the Second Circuit in 1995.

The facts above are the federal courts' statements. "Members of the Westies" is the indictment's charge as the 1995 opinion summarizes it, so no role is set on this page. The opinions mention Bokun's family in their account of the Holly killing; that is not repeated here.
