In this Rogers County jury trial, Mr. Henson’s client was charged with two counts of Lewd Molestation, two counts of Forcible Sodomy, two counts of Child Endangerment, and was facing a total of 84 years in prison, as well as lifetime registration as a sex offender. The client’s stepchildren, one male and one female, came forward in 2009 and claimed the sexual abuse began in 2001 when the girl was five and the boy was six, and ended in 2003 when the client moved out of the family home. The children were thirteen and fourteen when they came forward with their accusations, nearly eight years after the abuse supposedly began.

In their written statements and forensic interviews, both children accused the client of raping the girl every other day, forcing her to perform oral sodomy, and forcing her to touch his genitals. Both children claimed that the boy was forced to watch this alleged sexual abuse on two separate occasions. In addition to the step children, the client had four biological children with the children’s mother. Two of those biological male children were born with cerebral palsy. In addition to the sex crime allegations, the male stepchild accused the client of various acts of physical child abuse.

In order to show that the children were lying about everything, the defense introduced into evidence all of the rape and physical abuse allegations to show the jury the children had told different stories every time they were questioned. The prosecution wanted to keep those allegations out of the trial, but they were critical to the defense and the judge allowed them into evidence. The client took the stand in his own defense and denied all of the allegations. The jury acquitted him of all six counts after deliberating one hour and fifteen minutes. After nearly two years in jail, the client walked out of court a free man!

In this Tulsa County felony case, the client, along with her codefendant, were charged with embezzling in excess of $46,000 from a local company. The client, who was earning a six-figure income and had worked at the company for 15 years, denied taking anything from the company and maintained her innocence. The prosecution offered the client a deferred sentence with no jail time, with the condition that she pay the company restitution. The client rejected the offer from the prosecution, and was now facing a felony conviction, up to 10 years in prison, a $5,000 fine, and restitution in the amount of $46,000, to say nothing of the destruction to her reputation and earning power. Mr. Henson set the matter for a preliminary hearing, and after two days of testimony and multiple witnesses, Mr. Henson argued to the court that the prosecution had failed to show in any way that his client participated in the alleged embezzlement. The judge agreed with Mr. Henson and the case was dismissed! Mr. Henson was also able to have the client’s criminal record expunged so she would again be able to earn a six-figure income without the false allegations tainting her reputation and earning power.

In this Tulsa County case, the client was arrested for an outstanding warrant and was then charged with Trafficking in PCP. The client had 3 prior drug convictions and was facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. The client was arrested and 2 ounces of alleged PCP were discovered in his coat pocket. Mr. Henson conducted a thorough investigation and discovered the officers were not aware of the outstanding traffic warrant until after the client was arrested and booked into jail. He issued subpoenas for the data from the officers' patrol computers, police radio transmissions between the officers and the dispatcher, and the officers' personal cell phone records. There was absolutely no record of the officers ever calling in for the client’s record before the arrest. This meant that the officers had conducted an illegal search and they had illegally seized the alleged PCP, because they did not have probable cause. Mr. Henson filed a Motion to Suppress the Illegally Seized Evidence. The judge agreed the evidence was illegally seized and the evidence against the client was suppressed. Without any evidence, the case was dismissed!
