"Courthouse Chaos: Nevada Judge Assault Ignites Debate on Judicial Security Measures"
In a Las Vegas courtroom, defendant Deobra Delone Redden attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus during his sentencing for a felony battery case, leading to a violent brawl. The judge was injured but not hospitalized, while a courtroom marshal was hospitalized with a gash and dislocated shoulder. Redden, with a history of violent offenses, now faces additional charges including battery on a protected person. His sentencing was postponed, and the district attorney has labeled him an extreme danger to the community.
