Holy SH*T!!! Woody Harrelson's dad was a mafia hitman?!

"The World needs bad men..."  Well not THIS bad.  Dude was nearly a serial killer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Harrelson

Charles Voyde Harrelson (July 23, 1938 – March 15, 2007)[1] was an American hitman and organized crime figure who was convicted of assassinating federal judge John H. Wood Jr., the first federal judge to be assassinated in the 20th century. Charles Harrelson was the father of actors Brett and Woody Harrelson.

Defended by Percy Foreman, Harrelson was tried for the May 28, 1968[6] murder of Alan Harry Berg. On September 22, 1970, he was acquitted by a jury in Angleton, Texas.[7] The murder is chronicled in the memoir Run Brother Run by the victim's brother, David Berg.

Harrelson was tried for the 1968 murder-for-hire killing of Sam Degelia Jr., a resident of Hearne, Texas. Harrelson was paid $2,000 (the equivalent of $16,000 in 2020) for the murder of Degelia, a grain dealer and father of four who was killed in McAllen, Texas.

Shortly after Harrelson was paroled in 1978, he and his then-wife, Jo Ann, were implicated in another murder. On May 29, 1979, U.S. District Judge John H. Wood Jr. was shot dead in the parking lot outside his San Antonio, Texas, townhouse.

I learned this in 2008 or so I think. It was old news even back then. 

Wait until OP reads about what happened with Richard Gere and that poor gerbil.

I didn't know he was tried for a different murder in Angleton though.  I've been in that courthouse, hits close to home, etc.

Sheeeiitt!  Wait till OP finds out about OJ & Jenner.  

Did y'all know that Colt's dad and Shipley's dad were college roommates?  No shit, you can look it up.

Wait till he finds out Harrelson’s old man could have been the mob hit man that shot JFK.

So I guess because he is from Texas, and killed Texans, it is old news to y'uns.  My bad.  Delete thread, ban user.

It wasn't that long ago. Harris was at UT right after I graduated and... oh shit, I'm old.

Oh no, friend, quite a few more. 

I listened to a couple podcasts on Charles Harrelson. He wasn’t connected. He was a gambler/psychopath/ladies’ man that would do literally anything for money. 
 

The hit on the judge was for a drug smuggler out of El Paso.

Or because his kid has been a major star for over four decades and the story was well known the entire time.

Don’t listen to these guys.

It’s good that you posted this just in case any other fucking retards didn’t already know this.

This guy was f***ing regard. He took a sometime girlfriend on a hit near Galveston. The fact he was on the street long enough to hit the judge remains the most miraculous aspect of his troubled life. 

Appears our guy Woodrow was only in Texas from birth to 4.  Then he moved to Ohio.  Then went to Hanover College in Indiana, which is where Woody B was from in Cheers.

OK, I think you're missing the theme of this thread. We're making fun of the OP for posting something that everyone already knew. There are still some idiots out there who think Elvis is dead and not living on a moon colony with Nazis. Or, morons, as I like to call them.

OK then.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to IPIHB so that this closely-guarded secret doesn't get out to the masses?

Elvis is everywhere, man.

There is proof that Elvis died. The fact that Michael Jackson lived after marrying Lisa Marie. He didn’t cater to that.

Guys I don't want to shock you but I just heard that ShaggyBevo shut down. 

I’ve never heard of Brett Harrelson, so I actually learned something from this post.

This was old news when Natural Born Killers was released.

Here’s the podcast.

They got some good stuff from the family and Charles’ attorney. Drifts off after episodes 5-6, so you can skip the back end.

Basically a scum bag, petty criminal who accepted and completed a very big job. 

Woody says his dad is innocent.  So there’s that.  
I was a kid when the hit happened and I was with my parents in New Braunfels at the time.  Remember it like yesterday.
