A while back a few of us here at the S.D.F.C. went to see the Cohen brothers latest movie No Country For Old Men, half of us loved it, half of us hated it. So imagine our suprise when we came across this little nugget of information, which we found posted on a celebrity website blog. This is one strange coincidence:"In the novel 'No Country For Old Men' (but not in the movie), Sheriff Bell says of the dope-dealers, "Here a while back in San Antonio they shot and killed a federal judge."The author set the story in 1980. In 1979, in San Antonio, Federal Judge John Howland Wood was shot and killed by rifle fire by a Texas freelance contract killer named Charles Harrelson. Actor Woody Harrelson (Carson Wells in the movie) is his son.
Charles Harrelson was sentenced to two life sentences for the murder of Federal Judge John Howland Wood on the orders of drug dealer Jimmy Chagra, who reportedly paid him $250,000. Harrelson has claimed to be one of the "hobos" taken away from "the grassy knoll" right after the shooting of John F. Kennedy.
Harrelson died on March 15th, 2007 in a federal super-maximum prison in Colorado."
You can find out more about Woody's old man HERE over at Wikipedia.
