"Las Vegas Courtroom Attacker Ordered to Return, Judge Speaks on Ordeal"

In Las Vegas, Judge Mary Kay Holthus was attacked in her courtroom by Deobra Redden, a three-time felon, during his sentencing for attempted battery. Redden lunged at the judge, causing injury to her and several staff members. The judge has since ordered Redden to appear in court "by any and all means necessary" for further proceedings. The attack resulted in injuries requiring stitches and a dislocated shoulder for a marshal, and cuts for a law clerk. Redden faces 13 new charges related to the attack and has a history of criminal behavior, including a previous prison sentence for domestic battery. Judge Holthus has returned to work, and Redden's bail arguments will be heard by a different judge.
