Defense Attorneys Appeal Convictions Made In Disgraced Oklahoma County Judge's Courtroom

By: Jennifer Pierce
As the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation works with outside prosecution to investigate the allegations against former Oklahoma County Judge Timothy Henderson, defense attorneys said this first post-conviction appeal is only the tip of the iceberg.
Convicted drug dealer Aaron Fort was sentenced to 23 years in prison last year in now former judge Henderson's courtroom. His attorneys said one of the prosecutors on the case was having an alleged affair with Henderson at the time.
Fort's public defenders recently filed a 33-page appeal citing Henderson's alleged sexual misconduct as the basis for a new trial.
“Really it’s a necessity they raise those issues,” defense attorney Clay Curtis said. “And my understanding is they’re filing documents about search warrants and referencing items that have been filed.”
