A 30-year-old man, identified as Deobra Redden, attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus in the Clark County courtroom, Nevada, following denying her parole this Wednesday around noon.
As can be seen in the video that was shared online by AlertaMundoNews, the man approaches the stand and pounces on the judge, causing blows to the head and injuries to a sheriff who is trying to stop the attack. Both, fortunately, are out of danger.

The accused attacked the judge who denied him parole.
Redden has three criminal records and at the time of the attack he was awaiting sentencing on a charge of “attempted assault causing serious bodily injury” that had occurred on April 23 of last year, when he threatened another person with “breaking their kneecaps.” .
Before the sentencing, the 30-year-old had said he “should not be sent to prison.” His lawyer had requested his conditional release, but the judge denied it and indicated that he “should try a different measure,” which unleashed the defendant’s fury.
The aggressor’s history of violence
In 2021, he faced charges for “malicious destruction of property” and records indicate he served a prison sentence for “domestic assault” for one year, starting in 2021.
On April 23, 2023, Redden had threatened to “break the kneecaps” of another person, resulting in serious bodily injury.

In May of that same year, another judge ordered a competency evaluation for Redden and he was admitted to a state behavioral facility, eventually being declared competent in October.
Redden pleaded guilty in November. In December, the judge in question issued an arrest warrant for him following he failed to appear in court.
