  describes Booth as a spokesman for Hsu not Brosnahan. Has it been changed?

  As explanations go it's every bit as plausible as Hsu's claim he thought the criminal conviction on which he skipped was merely a money judgment that had been resolved.

  People who make their living through deceit often come to believe that they are such skillful liars that they can sell any untruth. Sometimes too, people are pathological actually have an uncontrollable compulsion to lie and in extrerme cases even convince their themselves to believe their own lies.

I linked to in the first line of the post and quoted says

Jason Booth, a friend of Hsu's and a spokesman for the San Francisco law firm representing him, would not comment on an Associated Press story that reported Hsu was disoriented and ill and got on Amtrak train thinking he was boarding San Francisco's rapid-transit system.

 The Post may have gotten it wrong. Booth appears to be a crisis communications specialist. He was in court with Hsu and the lawyers in San Mateo when Hsu turned himself in, but it's not clear from other articles whether he works for Hsu or the lawyer.
