Felon who jumped at judge to attack her in court set to appear before her again Monday
2024-01-09
[NYPOST] The Las Vegas felon seen in a wild courtroom video pummeling a judge after launching himself over her bench is scheduled to appear before her again Monday morning.

Deobra Redden,
...or Deobra Delone Redden when his mother is severely displeased...
30, is due to appear again before Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus, 62, to continue his sentencing hearing for an earlier baseball bat attack.

The original hearing was halted last Wednesday when he “supermanned over the judicial bench,” according to a description by Jerry Wiese, the court’s chief judge, of the now-viral attack.

Redden had desperately pleaded for Holthus not to give him prison time for the April baseball bat attack, telling the judge he was “a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is.”

“I’m not a rebellious person,” he told her. “But if it’s appropriate for you, then you have to do what you have to do.”

Holthus rejected his request for probation given the three-time felon’s history.
...a history that includes charges for battery, robbery, assault, injury to property, and coercion.

#5  The Judge is simply going to re sentence him with the exact same sentence she was going to impose when he assaulted her. However, a totally new Judge will over see his new trial (brief as it may be) for assaulting a judge, bailiff, clerk, etc. That sentencing might well add a very long time as he is charged with 13 counts of assault/battery on a protected persons and felonious stupidity.

#4  Too bad security didn't just cripple this scum bag given his rap sheet with battery and assault. Quadriplegic for this turd would be just right...and prison time, of course.
