The Nevada inmate who attacked the judge by flying over the bench is Deobra Redden, 30, who was facing prison time for a felony battery charge stemming from a baseball bat attack last year.
He leaped over the bench and assaulted Judge Mary Kay Holthus on January 3, 2024, injuring her and two other court officials.
The violent outburst means Redden will now be charged with battery on a protected person resulting in substantial bodily harm, two other counts of battery on a protected person, and one count of simple battery.
After his violent act he returned to face the judge to know his faith on Monday, 8 2024 in the same courtroom he attacked the judge. He was sentenced by her for 19 to 48 months in prison for felony battery charge.
