Actor Woody Harrelson's father, Charles Harrelson, has died of a heart attack at the age of 69 in the Supermax federal prison in Colorado where he was serving two life sentences. Charles Harrelson was convicted of murder in the May 29, 1979, slaying of U.S. District Judge John Wood Jr. outside his San Antonio home. Prosecutors said a drug dealer hired him to kill Wood because he did not want the judge to preside at his upcoming trial. Wood was the first federal judge to be killed in the 20th century.
