An attorney for a Tulsa Police officer convicted earlier this year of perjury and civil rights violations is asking a federal judge for a light sentence.
Officer Jeff Henderson was convicted August 24, 2011 on eight of the 53 counts against him, including six counts of perjury and two the civil rights violations.
A fellow officer, Bill Yelton, was acquitted in that same trial.
