19 Months And That's Not All....

Nutjob earned 19 months with an additional coming.

Loser of 2024.

The man who attacked a Clark County, Nevada Superior Court Judge last week is now being served for his probation violation before his attack. That trial will happen and it will add an additional amount of time on this asshole's time in the iron college.

Mary Kay Holthus, the proceeding judge who overseen the court case against Deobra Delone Redden was not playing when she saw him again.

Last week, Redden jumped over the bench and leaped into the judge and attacked her.

He managed to injure her, two court bailiffs and a prosecutor. The incident is graphic.

It became an international television moment.

Holthus falling back from her seat against a wall as the defendant flung himself over the judge’s bench and grabbed her hair, toppling an American flag onto them. The judge suffered some injuries but was not hospitalized, courthouse officials said.

On Monday, the suspect shackled and with a face shield was escorted by a handful of armed deputies and bailiffs. He did not look directly at the judge but heard his sentence read.

His lawyer, Caesar Almase, declined to comment outside the courtroom. In the attack last week, Redden had to be wrestled off the judge by several court and jail officers and courtroom staff members - including some who were seen throwing punches.

Judge Mary Kay Holthus wanted to make sure that idiot saw her.

One courtroom marshal was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder.

Redden launched himself at the judge just after asking for leniency and describing himself as "a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is."

As the judge made it clear she intended to put him behind bars, and the court marshal moved to handcuff him and take him into custody, Redden yelled expletives and charged forward — amid screams from people who had been sitting with him in the courtroom audience, including his foster mother.

Records show Redden, who lives in Las Vegas, was evaluated and found competent to stand trial in the battery case before pleading guilty to the reduced charge. He previously served prison time in Nevada on a domestic battery conviction, records show.

Clark County, Nevada courts will reevaluate how to deal with potentially violent offenders.

Holthus was a career prosecutor with more than 27 years of courthouse experience when she was elected to the state court bench in 2018.

Redden "supermanned over the judicial bench," Jerry Wiese, the court's chief judge, said in describing the event.

Holthus suffered some injuries but was back to work the next day.

Wiese credited court clerk Michael Lasso for acting quickly to protect the judge, saying he was the "primary person" who pulled Redden off "and probably kept her from having more severe injuries."

That attack will put the suspect in the iron college for at least 10 years. 

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
