Paulsen's attorney has taken the forty four
year old ex convict through a slow and
deliberate line of questioning, attorney Tom
Sharp is trying to establish his client as a
professional gambler who became involved
in the case through a get rich quick scheme
and testified he met the alleged mastermind of
the wood conspiracy in Las Vegas at the gaming
tables. Jimmy Carter was a high rolling
gambler, and Harrelson was trying to swindle
Shaqra by setting up a bogus drug deal.
The accused murderer says this is why he
received a payment of a quarter of a million
dollars from Chautara House and is charged
with pulling the trigger in the wood murder in
nineteen seventy nine.
Haralson has been convicted on another murder
charge, and a witness testified earlier in
the trial that Haralson bragged about killing
John F. Kennedy in 1960.
Three attorney Sharp told reporters
outside the courtroom he expects his client to
be on the witness stand at least three days.
