A Las Vegas man, Deobra Redden, has been sentenced to serve at least 26 years behind bars for his violent attack on Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus. The incident, which occurred on January 3, was captured on courtroom video and shocked many.
Redden, 31, pleaded guilty but mentally ill to attempted murder and other charges in September. Judge Holthus, 62, testified that she feared for her life when Redden leaped over her bench and assaulted her while she was preparing to deliver his sentence in a separate felony battery case.
