In March 2021, Judge Timothy Henderson sentenced Robert Leon Hashagen III, an Oklahoma man who had recently been convicted of first-degree murder, to life in prison. But now, that sentence has been vacated.
A state appeals court panel decided last week to overturn Hashagen’s murder conviction because Henderson, who has since resigned, had a sexual relationship with one of the prosecutors on the case. In a 3-2 decision, a panel of judges in Oklahoma’s Court of Criminal Appeals determined that the undisclosed relationship between Henderson and the prosecutor, who is not identified in the ruling, “violated Hashagen’s due process rights.
“It would call into question the integrity of the entire proceeding,” Munda said. “So I think the court did the right thing.” The hearing took place in November 2021. Canadian County District Judge Paul Hesse, who presided over it, found that Henderson and the prosecutor were involved in an undisclosed sexual relationship from April 2016 through the summer of 2018, according to the ruling.that the prosecutor accused Henderson of making unwanted advances and described their involvement as sexual abuse. Henderson, through an attorney, described the contact as consensual, according to the paper.
In January 2018, the prosecutor attended a pretrial conference Henderson held for the Hashagen case, Hesse found. She later argued for the state and questioned witnesses in January 2021.
