The indictment printing (Tribune, 2001, "Trial date set for adult bookstore manager") has him indicted by a grand jury on 19 charges including racketeering, money laundering, conspiracy and distributing obscenity, with an August 6 trial date set by St. Joseph Circuit Court Magistrate David Chapleau. The trial printing (Tribune, 2001, "Sex video evidence too much for juror") has the trial actually begun — a panelist dismissed as jurors settled in to watch the eleven and a half hours of adult movies taken as evidence — and states the posture he then faced as seven counts of distributing obscene materials and two felony counts of racketeering. The two count-sets are printed whole and not harmonized: nineteen charges at indictment, nine counts described at trial; the narrowing between them is the record's own shape, and no source reached explains it count by count.
What neither printing carries — and what no appellate opinion carries, per the sweep above — is the ending: no verdict and no sentence for Henderson appears in any record reached in November 2026. Henderson's final disposition closes NAMED GAP. Settler: the St. Joseph Circuit Court file in his cause, with the Tribune archive as the press settler. Per the register's rule, the gap is not filled from the trial's opening coverage, however full that coverage is.
