Statement
A federal judge held former Tulsa police officer Jeff Henderson in contempt of court for false testimony/perjury.
The Judge found:
"This court ... finds that Henderson testified falsely with intent to obstruct the administration of justice. It was not an inadvertent mistake. After observing and listening to Henderson during both hearings, the court does not believe Henderson's testimony that he made an honest mistake about the identity of the RCI (reliable confidential informant)."
Jeff Henderson, was previously convicted on two counts of civil rights violations and six counts of perjury. He was acquitted on 45 counts of perjury, civil rights violations, drug conspiracy and witness tampering. Henderson was sentenced to 42 months in prison, which he is serving in South Dakota. Three months were added to that prison time for contempt of court. At least 46 people have been freed from prison or had their cases modified because of civil rights violations or potential problems with their cases stemming from the police corruption. 30 men & women had their convictions vacated. At least 14 lawsuits have been filed against the city and individual police officers as a result.
