Nevada Judge Attacked by a Defendant in Courtroom Video
(warning: distressing) A judge in Las Vegas was attacked by a defendant on January 3 while he was being sentenced for attempted battery, leading to a melee that involved court officials and attorneys.
30-year-old Deobra Delone Redden could be seen leaping across the judge's bench to get to Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus, landing on top of her, with others trying to peel him off. Prior to the sentencing, Redden's defense attorney asked if Holthus could give his client probation instead of incarcerating him, saying he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and went through mental health treatment, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Holthus was reportedly injured, but not hospitalized, while a courtroom marshal was treated for a gash on the head and a dislocated shoulder, according to ABC News. Redden now faces new felony charges, including battery on a protected person. #WatchThis
