A Nevada judge was attacked in court immediately after she rejected a defendant's motion to probationary period.
CNN reports this.
Defendant Deobra Redden was in a Las Vegas courtroom to be sentenced on a charge of attempted battery causing substantial bodily harm, a Clark County judge said.
During the hearing, Redden and his attorney asked Judge Mary Kay Holthus for probation rather than jail time, saying the 30-year-old is getting his life back on track with a new job and plans to resume his education.
Redden said he is dealing with his mental health issues and “trying to learn from my mistakes.”
Holthus then read aloud the defendant's criminal history in court, which included “three felonies, multiple counts of domestic violence, robbery, attempted home invasion.”
“You have a lot to do, sir,” the judge told Redden.
The man's lawyer told the judge he believed his client would be able to successfully complete probation.
“I appreciate it,” the judge replied, “but I think it's time to try something else because I just can't with this story.”
A few seconds later, Redden shouted, “Fuck that bitch!” He ran towards the judge, jumped over the bench and attacked her. Redden knocked Holthus to the ground and both disappeared from view of the camera behind the bench.
