Jack “Sonny” Henderson’s evening jog ended abruptly two years ago when a pair of pit bulls attacked him on Clinton Road.
Monday, Bibb County State Judge William P. Adams awarded the 65-year-old retired postal worker a $350,000 judgment based on his injuries, medical treatment and lingering effects.
Shortly after the attack, Henderson said he would have bled to death in the street if it weren’t for two women who stopped to help.

Congratulations to Jeff Powers and Adam Beecher on their $45,000 ($15k compensatory and $30k Punitive) verdict in Upson County yesterday. As I understand it was a DUI case with $5k in specials and some difficult facts to overcome. This is a great job in an extremely conservative venue. Goes to show that you can get a good verdict in a conservative venue if you are willing to take the case the distance.

Macon, GA – July 31, 2009 – Attorney and former Bibb County Prosecutor Jeff Powers recently finished fourteenth in his age group and seventy-seventh in his third Alcatraz Challenge Aquathlon & Swim on Saturday, July 12 in San Francisco, CA. The event began with a one and a half mile swim beginning at Alcatraz and concluding at Crissy Beach, near the Presidio. Following the swim participants tied on their running shoes and ran across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and back for a total of seven miles. Last year Powers finished in one hour and forty-five minutes and placed 50th overall in the competition.
Powers has been competing in triathlon events since 1988 as a student at Florida State University but fell away from competing in the intervening years. “I was just glad to finish that first race,” Powers remembers.
Training for events like the Alcatraz Challenge is a year round endeavor. “I swim at Northside Pool with a group of Masters Swimmers three days a week. I also bike with a group several days a week. Right now I am focusing on swimming and running,” says Powers, “In May, I competed in the Coliseum Hospital Rock N Roll ½ Ironman Race finishing third in my division for the swim portion of the race. That was my warm-up for Alcatraz.”
“Running across the Golden Gate Bridge is exhilarating! The Bridge literally moves while you are running and the wind and fog are coming in off the San Francisco Bay as you run out towards Sausalito. This year the water was much more turbulent and the bridge was really windy,” grins Powers.
Powers future competition goals include a ½ Ironman Race and maybe even a Full Ironman at some point in the future. “It takes a lot of training so I will have to work up to it but I’m looking forward to the challenge,” says Powers.
The Alcatraz Challenge Aquathlon & Swim began in 1981 as the Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon. The event has evolved over time dropping the bike event and becoming the Aquathlon it is today. The venue allows racers to experience two of San Francisco’s pre-eminent landmarks – Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge – up close and personal.
