Man attacks Las Vegas judge at sentencing
In a shocking turn of events during a sentencing hearing in Las Vegas, Deobra Redden, facing charges of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, violently attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus.
The prosecutor, highlighting Redden's history of violent crimes, had advocated for a prison term. Redden, in his defense, claimed to be in a better mental state, supported by a new job and a better support system.
His attorney argued for a suspended sentence, citing his mental health history and successful completion of previous probation programs.
Judge Holthus, considering these arguments, leaned towards a stricter sentence, stating the need for Redden to experience "something else" due to his criminal background.
This remark seemed to provoke Redden, who then verbally assaulted the judge, charged towards the bench, leaped over it, and physically attacked her.
The courtroom quickly descended into chaos as a nearby individual and a court officer struggled to subdue Redden. The intense scene was marked by Judge Holthus's audible distress and the activation of an alarm.
The aftermath of the attack saw Judge Holthus standing up and being escorted out of the courtroom by officers.
A court officer was injured in the incident. Fortunately, Judge Holthus was unharmed.
