"Defendant's 'Bad Day' Leads to Violent Attack on Las Vegas Judge"

During a sentencing hearing in Las Vegas, Deobra Redden attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus, causing injuries to her and two others. Redden leaped over the bench, pushed the judge against a wall, and engaged in a brawl with court officials. He later expressed to corrections officers that he was having a bad day and had intended to kill the judge. Redden is set to be charged with multiple counts of battery for the attack and will return to court for sentencing in the original case. Judge Holthus thanked those who expressed concern and those who acted bravely during the incident.
