A recent attack on a Las Vegas judge is very disturbing. But such cases are uncommon.
A courtroom proceeding took a violent turn when a man attacked a Las Vegas judge on Wednesday morning. Video shows when 30-year-old defendant Deobra Redden runs and leaps toward Judge Mary Kay Holthus as she tries to scramble away.
Holthus was about to announce Redden’s sentence in a felony battery case. The judge was injured but not hospitalized. A marshal who intervened was hospitalized but remains in stable condition.
Video of the physical assault has been viewed nearly 70 million times on social media and is disturbing.
