Henderson came to see him on April 29 to introduce himself. On May 6 th , Jeffrey Walsh, the investigator hired to work on Anthony s case with Henderson, came to see him as well. But ever since May 1999 Anthony has not been able to speak to or consult with either one of them. He has written letters, had letters notarized, but no one bothered to write back, come see him or call him. Anthony only has one year to file his 3.850 motion.
Time is of the essence.
And his lawyer of all people should be aware of that. Through other sources Anthony has found out that Jeffrey Walsh quit working for Henderson because, according to Walsh, Henderson is neither competent nor motivated to help Anthony. Without even consulting Anthony, Henderson held a status conference with Judge Southwood about his case. Anthony managed to get a copy of the transcript and learned in this way that Henderson was asking Judge Southwood for leave of his case. Southwood was willing to give Henderson an extra three months to get his affairs taken care of.
