Las Vegas judge is attacked by freshly-convicted criminal who jumped over her bench to rain punches on her after she sentenced him to jail
2024-01-04
A Las Vegas judge was pounced on and attacked by a criminal during a hearing after she denied him bail.

Judge Mary Kay Holthus from the Clark County District Court was mid-sentencing when convicted criminal Deobra Delone Redden launched at her on Wednesday morning.
Deobra? Did his parents really want a girl?
Video footage shows the wild moment Redden leaped out from where he was standing and hopped into the judge's bench to tackle her.

As he throws himself at the shocked judge, Redden is heard saying 'nah f*** that b*tch.'

The marshal along with the judge attempt to dodge the attack, but Redden threw himself on top of both of them and began to brutally beat-up Holthus.

n the footage he can be heard repeatedly punching Holthus and screaming at her using explicit language, meanwhile security officers attempted to restrain the crazed criminal.

The female judge can be heard pleading with the criminal and begging him to get off her.

Redden was ironically being sentenced for aggravated battery with substantial bodily harm just before he launched his attack.

Judge Holthus experienced injuries as a result of the assault and her condition is being monitored.

The marshal was also injured and had to be transported to hospital following the brutal attack.

Redden has a criminal history involving charges in both Nevada and Texas.

The 30-year-old has faced charges for battery, robbery, assault, injury to property and coercion, records show.

A judge had previously demanded that Redden undergo a competency determination, he was eventually found to be competent in October.
