A decade earlier, he also went with Henderson to see firsthand the solitary confinement facilities at the notorious Pelican Bay State Prison in Del Norte County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a three-month trial in 1995, Henderson issued a 300-page \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15272924062550586562&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruling\u003c/a> that completely changed conditions in the prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"AxzyCBjJis7piXoDw5UQoR7l2hNoJkOf\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beatings stopped,\" says Specter. \"Prisoners who were especially vulnerable to isolation were kept out of it. His ruling was responsible in large part for reforming the use-of-force policy for the entire corrections department.

Henderson says he still gets letters from schoolkids about that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he got very different kinds of letters after California voters passed \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Affirmative_Action,_Proposition_209_(1996)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 209\u003c/a>, banning racial preferences in public institutions like the University of California. In November 1996, Henderson blocked its implementation -- enraging supporters of the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 209 backer Ward Connerly called Henderson's ruling \"the most garbage decision I have ever seen,\" adding that it \"will be recorded in the history of American jurisprudence as one of the most perverse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans called for Henderson's impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Gov. Pete Wilson called Henderson's decision \"an affront to the overwhelming majority of California voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got death threats for that case,\" Henderson recalls. \"I’ve had a few since then, but that one was the most emotional case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson’s Proposition 209 decision was overturned by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals a few months later, and the law remains in effect today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even today, 20 years after his decision, Henderson is convinced he did the right thing by blocking Proposition 209 from taking effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt I was following Supreme Court precedent,\" Henderson says. \"Of course the panel that got it on the 9th Circuit disagreed. I was never convinced I was wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases like Proposition 209 led critics of Henderson to label him an \"activist judge.\" He rejects that but acknowledges that he's always tried to level the playing field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody gets their day in court, but my passion is for the underdog,\" Henderson admits. \"That’s where I put in my extra time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 83, he’ll have extra time for his two passions -- fishing and poker.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A decade earlier, he also went with Henderson to see firsthand the solitary confinement facilities at the notorious Pelican Bay State Prison in Del Norte County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a three-month trial in 1995, Henderson issued a 300-page \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/scholar_case?case=15272924062550586562&hl=en&as_sdt=2&as_vis=1&oi=scholarr\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ruling\u003c/a> that completely changed conditions in the prisons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The beatings stopped,\" says Specter. \"Prisoners who were especially vulnerable to isolation were kept out of it. His ruling was responsible in large part for reforming the use-of-force policy for the entire corrections department. So it was dramatic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years Henderson has had his share of reversals by higher courts, none more infamous than a case involving affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Surprisingly, when I asked Henderson to name the cases he's most proud of, he mentioned his ruling that tuna fishermen could no longer use nets that were killing huge numbers of dolphins. Henderson says he still gets letters from schoolkids about that one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he got very different kinds of letters after California voters passed \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Affirmative_Action,_Proposition_209_(1996)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 209\u003c/a>, banning racial preferences in public institutions like the University of California. In November 1996, Henderson blocked its implementation -- enraging supporters of the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 209 backer Ward Connerly called Henderson's ruling \"the most garbage decision I have ever seen,\" adding that it \"will be recorded in the history of American jurisprudence as one of the most perverse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some Republicans called for Henderson's impeachment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican Gov. Pete Wilson called Henderson's decision \"an affront to the overwhelming majority of California voters.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I got death threats for that case,\" Henderson recalls. \"I’ve had a few since then, but that one was the most emotional case.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson’s Proposition 209 decision was overturned by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals a few months later, and the law remains in effect today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even today, 20 years after his decision, Henderson is convinced he did the right thing by blocking Proposition 209 from taking effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I felt I was following Supreme Court precedent,\" Henderson says. \"Of course the panel that got it on the 9th Circuit disagreed. I was never convinced I was wrong.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cases like Proposition 209 led critics of Henderson to label him an \"activist judge.\" He rejects that but acknowledges that he's always tried to level the playing field.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everybody gets their day in court, but my passion is for the underdog,\" Henderson admits. \"That’s where I put in my extra time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now 83, he’ll have extra time for his two passions -- fishing and poker.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"headTitle": "News Fix | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>A federal judge on Friday ordered the Oakland Police Department to implement an expanded system of reviewing officer-involved shootings to ensure the department looks at how it might avoid using deadly force in such incidents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson issued a three-page order that rebuked department and city leaders for delays in implementing the expanded review process, which was first recommended by a court-appointed monitor in July.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Henderson oversees the settlement of a lawsuit arising from the Riders case, in which Oakland police officers were found to have abused suspects and violated their civil rights. Under the settlement agreement, the department is required to undertake an exhaustive series of reforms and must report on its progress to both a court-appointed monitor and compliance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, after the department's first fatal officer-involved shooting in more than two years, the monitor, Robert Warshaw, recommended that the department's review of such incidents be widened to look at \"whether the use of deadly force may have been avoided, and to identify tactics, strategies, and opportunities as events unfolded that may have avoided such an outcome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Henderson's Friday order, Warshaw's recommendation began a process in which Chief Sean Whent signed off on the expanded review concept, developed language for a new policy and, in November, conferred on the new policy with the Oakland Police Officers Association, the union representing rank-and-file members of the department. After that \"meet and confer\" process, Henderson wrote, Whent said the new policy would go into effect this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the judge says the department put the new policy on hold because the police union is insisting on further meetings.

Under the settlement agreement, the department is required to undertake an exhaustive series of reforms and must report on its progress to both a court-appointed monitor and compliance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July, after the department's first fatal officer-involved shooting in more than two years, the monitor, Robert Warshaw, recommended that the department's review of such incidents be widened to look at \"whether the use of deadly force may have been avoided, and to identify tactics, strategies, and opportunities as events unfolded that may have avoided such an outcome.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Henderson's Friday order, Warshaw's recommendation began a process in which Chief Sean Whent signed off on the expanded review concept, developed language for a new policy and, in November, conferred on the new policy with the Oakland Police Officers Association, the union representing rank-and-file members of the department. After that \"meet and confer\" process, Henderson wrote, Whent said the new policy would go into effect this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
