SAN ANTONIO (CN) An eyewitness who testified at the 1980s murder trial of hitman Charles Harrelson claims in a federal lawsuit that the Spotify-distributed podcast “Son of a Hitman” manipulated her interview to sensationalize the 10-episode show, while hiding the involvement of Harrelson’s two sons who, along with their actor brother Woody Harrelson, have long cast doubt on their father’s guilt.
Dr. Chrysanthe Parker, an inactive Texas attorney who holds multiple certified health care degrees and now testifies at trials as an expert witness in the field of post-traumatic stress disorder, says in her lawsuit that the podcast’s host used less than five minutes of her 90-minute interview to unfairly portray her as “a very unusual witness” who was complicit in a scheme to convict Harrelson with fabricated evidence, supposedly obtained through her hypnosis.
