SALINE PROSECUTOR HENSHAW ALMOST COMES TO BLOWS IN COURTROOM
SALINE CO.–Apparently feeling the heat coming down on him from every aspect of his carefully-constructed little world, Saline judge-turned-prosecutor Mike Henshaw almost came to blows today in the courtroom with Paul Christenson, attorney for cocaine-trafficking suspect Tim Monroe.
Mike Henshaw. Yes we need a better pic of him, and yes, he always looks this pissy.
It was reported to Disclosure that the almost-altercation took place in about a ten-minute time span upon commencement of a 1:30 hearing in which a number of issues surrounding Monroe’s charges were to be addressed.
Monroe, formerly a teacher and coach at Galatia high school, was charged in February 2008 with three counts of cocaine trafficking in the vicinity of a church (next door to his house at the time).
Monroe claims his trafficking accomplice was Rodney Marcum, buddy of the pissy Mr. Henshaw…which was the basis of the brouhaha today.
Rodney Marcum, alleged Henshaw-buddy. That's about his speed.
Christenson continued to insist today that Henshaw had a conflict in prosecuting the case because of his association with Marcum and all the other rummy characters that are involved in this cocaine-trafficking case, including the never-popular Paul McSparin and David “Cocksie” Cox.
When Christenson brought this up again today, Henshaw bulled up and began posturing, stating that the whole “buddies” thing was a construct in order to deflect attention off the seriousness of the matter.
Christenson apparently bulled up back and told Henshaw that they were too his buddies.
The judge in the case, hippified Ron Eckiss from Williamson Co., told the two to settle down, but they did not, and court security maven Lia Milstead reportedly had to get between the two legal beagles.
McSparin. Cocksie. Luvluvluv.
Christenson simply wanted to continue a previously-set hearing on Monroe’s Harassment of Witnesses charge (wherein he is accused of threatening to kick McSparin’s and Cox’ asses, something that probably ultimately needs to happen in some form or another just to shut their pipsqueak mouths for a time…just sayin…) until a determination could be made as to just what part the two play in the cocaine-trafficking matter as witnesses.
Henshaw would have none of it…and neither would the judge.
Eckiss set the cocaine charge for jury trial beginning next Tuesday.
Christenson advised Eckiss, Henshaw, and the few in the courtroom (including Henshaw’s wife, who seems to make it down to the courtroom from her taxpayer-supported hole in the courthouse every time Monroe is present, perhaps to provide a few vertebra to what passes for Henshaw’s backbone) that it’d be fine if they proceeded to trial next week, but he promised it would be “a bloodbath.”
We understand that one of the prosecution’s key witnesses is not going to be allowed to testify, as he has been pulled off every undercover case he’s been working in southern Illinois. We won’t say who this is at this time (mainly because we don’t have his pic…but we’re working on it.)
It wouldn’t be surprising if Christenson doesn’t call him to the stand anyway…for the defense…to explain exactly WHY it is that he can’t testify.
That would be a pure hoot.
The complete story of today’s antics will be in the next print version of Disclosure, on stands Jan. 11-13.

I can’t believe this has been on this long without anyone commenting.Is everyone that scared to speak up?That is what THEY want you know.
I have been told that if you mess with Mr. Henshaw then you will disappear….So I don’t have anything else to say.
Wish I could have been there to see that. Pure entertainment.
I’m def. going to check this trial out in person if it happens.
Personally think this story has been played out. Yeah Cox is an idiot and he and McSparin are clearly co-dependent but Monroe has been a dealer for years, he’s a freak and a scumbag and I personally won’t shed a tear over his ass going to jail. All this publicity, I’m sure is making the lovebirds feel like the celebrities they think they are. Give Cox and McSparin enough time and rope and they’ll hang themselves. Henshaw won’t even be able to save them from that.
Most ‘celebrities,’ especially the unstable ones, self-destruct, given enough time and rope (or a fuse, perhaps…)
Freak and scumbag..interesting. Let me ask you how long has it been since you have talked to Monroe. I’m not sure you should speak so down on someone you don’t know personally to this day. Watch what you say judgement day will come.
Oh, lawdy! I saw the cleaned up version of this story in the Daily Ragister, so I had to come to Disclosure for the real story. LULZ
This thing is gonna blow sky high in the ‘Burg. There’s no getting around it this time, boys. Y’all screwed up big time and the decades long party is finally over.
Laughing out loud at the admin calling them “celebrities”. You don’t realize how very much on-the-mark you are calling them ‘celebrities’ in the ‘Burg and Saline Co.! Hell, they’re so high and mighty that they probably think of y’all as the paparazzi!
BTW? I’ve seen Mike Henshaw laugh and smile once in all the years I’ve known him. I’d love to tell the story. It’s funneh, but I fear it would give away who I am since I’m sure that he hasn’t smiled that much and it would be easy to out me from the story.
I’d tell the rest of the Asshole Brigade swirling around Coxsie, PJ, Timmy Monroe, Henshaw, and Marcum to keep their distance, but there’s really no where for them to go even if they had half the sense God gave a goose and knew they needed to run for the hills.
Party’s over, boyz. Nuthin’ left but the crying and the trying. That is, trying to turn state’s evidence to save your own ass!
Does anybody know what time on the 12th, this fiasco is suppose to start?
I can’t wait to see who the witness is that can’t testify for the prosecution also.
We don’t have a time yet; we’ll have to call to get that, but it’s jury selection, and those generally start very early in the morning (8:30).
We’re now hearing that this witness is being disallowed to testify in every case in southern Illinois EXCEPT this one. This is from an official source. It couldn’t get any stranger.
Wait…this is Saline County…yes it could.
Is buying cocaine illegal? I thought it was and was just wondering why Roark and McSparin wrote in voluntary statements admitting they bought cocaine from Monroe why they have not been charged? The only reason I can think of is that last time I was eating at Morrelos Henshaw and McSparin were having a beer together. I just think everyone who buys and sells cocaine should be charged regardless what they do for the states attorney or what the states attorney does for them.
Hmmm. You’d think.
We’ve heard that Henshaw is morbidly drawn toward this site despite the fact that we’re not big fans of his (or any attorney, for that matter). Maybe we should scan in the statement you’re talking about and post it so that Henshaw won’t miss it next time he comes to visit.
Folks you weretold to stop your attacks. But you didnt. This argument is over a girl who has lied for 1 year. Well we did like her and thought she was sweet… but come on. You folks are nuts, Boittom line is you guys took it to far and Coxie and Paul are after your ass.. get ready for a war and you will loose. she is a liar. and these guys never quit
Hello idiot (how appropriate. Freudian slip?)
Our spam blocker picks up on your IPs coming from your sick bunch, but I let this one go because we’re going to set one thing straight on a post that doesn’t have too many comments but has a lot of hits, so this straight-setting thing will be widely seen.
We’re not sure who you’re talking to since you use such vague terms (nice legal maneuver…hmm, wonder who’s advising you). However, if you are talking to Disclosure staff, we’re going to tell you what we told someone two days ago to deliver to Henshaw next time he issues a threat in our general direction: STICK IT UP YOUR ASS, AND BREAK IT OFF.
We are not afraid of you; you mean nothing to us. We have done nothing wrong. We are reporting the news, about a batch of useless, fat, balding, washed-up, perverted, panty-waist, drunken, coke-sniffing, abusive, foul-minded, black-hearted, quasi-professional, criminally-inclined, on-the-teat (or the fringe of it) closet-case ASSHOLE MOTHERFUCKERS who think their shit doesn’t stink and have mistakenly thought that for years because of limp-dick mainstream media that gives them a pass because their asses are so tight they squeak when they walk. Apply descriptives as you wish, to whichever one of you you think they stick.
You have issued nothing but threats toward us, as well as toward other innocent people, on this website repeatedly. All of them have been logged, and all of them have been traced. Do you understand that? Every time you hijacked an errant wireless signal in your neighborhood, no matter where you were: Harrisburg, Marion, Carbondale, Herrin, and sent us your shit, you have caused not only problems for yourself, but for the person who pays for the signal. Are you getting the picture?
Whether Monroe takes this case to a jury, or whether he wins or loses, is of no consequence any more. People know the truth, and things are unraveling. Don’t you feel it? Can’t you see it? And it’s all because a little newspaper with a staff of two did three months’ worth of exposes on you. That’s how thin your veneer of “all is well and we are the kings of Saline County” really is. We’ve ripped it. And everybody else who’s mad as hell at you for what you’ve done to them is about to tear it, and consequently you, to shreds.
Get ready.
We’d say go fuck yourself, but these days you’re all you have, so you obviously have learned to enjoy it too much.
We’ll just return you to the spam folder, where you and your ilk belong.
Huh.
Judging by the amount of SHIT that’s spilling into the spam folder right now, I’d say he got the message.
deletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedeletedelete.
Good thing I have automatic trash emptying. I don’t even have to see em.
i’m an avid reader & viewer, but have never posted. just thought i’d let you guys know that i love what you do, love that you don’t take shit from anyone and love the fact that you put everyone in it’s place. i can only hope i’m never on the opposing end….but if i ever am, i KNOW you will set me straight!! keep up the good work!
Thank you!
It’s kind people like you, who do want to read what really goes on in courtrooms and barrooms, the stuff that the local papers conveniently leave out, that we do all this for.
Spam folder STILL filling up….lol
well, i know you haven’t even scratched the surface of what’s going on around here, but i have a feeling you will! our local paper sucks and they are only ‘allowed’ to report what certain people want reported..if you get my drift! and i’ve had 1st hand experience with that. looking forward to your new print version out next week. you now have a new fan!!
Thanks dear reader. We know we have a long, long way to go. But we felt this way four years ago when we were getting reports about Raymond Martin, and look what happened to him. It takes brave people to come forward. Tell everyone you know, we preserve identities and will fight tooth and nail to do so. We will talk to anyone. We may not have the answers, but ultimately, there’s a solution somewhere. Sometimes it does helps to get it aired out. Cockroaches like filthy dark places.
LULZ!
All the members of the First Team and Second Team must be shitting their britches!
I’d love to be a fly on the wall at the Elks or Morello’s these days.
I agree with loving it. You haven’t even scratched the filthy surface of what’s going on around the ‘Burg. You may need gas masks as you get nearer to the shit-filled center.
Hell, I don’t know if there will be anyone left to run it after everyone is put in their place and let’s hope that prison is the place for the majority of them.
Spam folder got up to 24 before I ditched them.
Going back to ditch some more.
Tim has be saying he was getting out of all the charges sence he was arrested i am glad to see they are going to stick him in the slammer he just another martin thinks he can do what ever he wants lol
Has Mr. Henshaw checked the leads system for you lately “idiot”? He can’t change your social security number in Gallatin County can he? Although he can call the Gallatin County States Attorney and threaten him six times in one day to drop charges? Luckily the Gallatin County States Attorney doesn’t have the same extracurricular activities as you and your buddies do? Well hope white county jail treats you like saline did! See ya playboygrownuper! See ya soon but only one of us will be taking our own car home!
Will Coxucker ever stop his shit? My question is how does this person call what you do as “rumors” when all of itis taken from court documents? What do you call a person who has been rejected by his last 2 women and still doesn’t get the picture to just move on and leave all of them alone? These poor families that have to deal with him. And all he does is want to sue people??? I don’t understand. That is part of what is wrong with Saline County and the good ole USA!
McFreak just wants to bash others for lying. What about him claiming that he hates court and everyone drags him into court all of the time? When he stands in the courthouse with Henshaws wife whispering in her ear and acting like a teenager…..unbelievable.
Good for him if he claims to have a job in Evansville and Marion (his previous hometown where everyone hates him). Maybe he will move back and find another 14 year old to stalk and beat up. ANOTHER ONE OF HIS CONVICTIONS!!!!!!!! There were several while he lived there from what I am told.
Keep up the good work, Disclosure…..and BTW, hope ” useless, fat, balding, washed-up, perverted, panty-waist, drunken, coke-sniffing, abusive, foul-minded, black-hearted, quasi-professional, criminally-inclined, on-the-teat (or the fringe of it) closet-case ASSHOLE MOTHERFUCKERS ” doesnt SHUT YOU DOWN!!!!!!! LMAO!
Yeah…if we’re recalling correctly, we were supposed to have been UNDER WATER several weeks ago…
…now we’re in violation of “2 laws” but of course his assholiness won’t say what they are. That’s because we’re NOT.
He apparently has a hard time comprehending the difference between civil litigation and criminal litigation.
And he still hasn’t come to the understanding that any such litigation would have to be filed here in Edwards…where he has no protection…and where there’s precedent been set in 2003…and where the judge would subsequently laugh him not only out of the courtroom and courthouse, but across the county line.
We’ve done nothing wrong. We didn’t even mention the bedwetting. And if we had, that wouldn’t have been wrong, either.
Someone must be drunk again.
The spam folder is filling back up.
REALLY drunk; he can’t even spell “idiot” tonight.
This person just can’t seem to learn that the only rope he’s using is the one tied securely around his own neck…
Saline county has nothing but a crocked circle up there,has been for years. Glad to see your paper here, maybe it will help to uncover the shit that does go on here, but the voters of saline county must like it because it has been this way as long as i can remember,and they keep voting them in, i think we should vote them all out and wipe the slate clean!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well good morning it is and damn did i sleep good, got up just a lil early so that i could read the truth… 1st off let’s start with a former judge bust’ed with cociane in 3 differnt states. And dumb ass David Rollins going to rescue him, now that DR is poor who is helping him???? from a mansion to a trailer hahaha.And his lil crack head’ed daughter courtney who has been caught twice for leaving her son alone wonder where Lavon and Donna are at on this case DCFS, oh shit i almost 4 got mike and david r friends, no wonder she has not ben charg’ed.. And now let’s talk about our former state’s atty and his DRUNK ass wife who hit Tom Leverette
I did see courtney’s name in paper last week for 1 count of endangering the life/health of a child and for something else.
