"Repeat Offender Attacks Judge in Court, Sparks Outrage and Concern for Judicial Safety"

Deobra Redden, a three-time felon, attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus in a Las Vegas courtroom during his sentencing for attempted battery. The following day, he refused to appear in court for his initial appearance. Despite the Clark County District Attorney's request for Redden to be held without bail, Pro-Tem Judge Lauren Diefenbach did not alter the bail amount, which remained at $54,000. The incident has prompted a review of court security protocols, and Redden faces new charges including battery on a protected person. Judge Holthus and a marshal were injured during the attack, with the marshal hospitalized in stable condition. Redden's next court date is set for January 9.
