Before the hearing Monday afternoon, Greig's twin sister, Margaret McCusker, told reporters she's hopeful her sister will be granted bail. Greig's lawyer said in a court filing that McCusker and Greg are willing to put their Massachusetts homes up as collateral.
Greig was apprehended with Bulger in Santa Monica, Calif., last month after allegedly spending 16 years with him on the run.

Greig's detention hearing is scheduled Monday afternoon in U.S. District Court.
