Deobra Redden appeared a spit mask and shackles and was sentenced after jumping at and attacking a judge last week in Las Vegas
A man who lunged over a bench and attacked a judge returned to court – but heavily restrained.
Deobra Redden, 30, launched himself at Clark County Judge Mary Kay Holthus in Las Vegas court last week and could be heard saying in a viral video, ‘Nah, f*** that, bitch.’ The judge appeared to fall from her chair to the ground as Redden pummeled her and was pulled off by several men.
On Monday morning, Redden was escorted back into the courtroom for his sentencing hearing wearing a spit hood, orange mittens and shackles.
Redden did not utter a word as he was flanked by marshals in the courtroom.
Holthus, 62, who was not able to sentence Redden last Wednesday when he ‘supermanned over the judicial bench’, finished doing so this time around.
In the hearing that lasted only a few minutes, Holthus said Redden’s attack on her did not result in her ‘stressing or modifying’ his sentence for a baseball bat assault from April, the New York Post reported.
Holthus sentenced Redden to 19-to-48 months in prison.
However, Redden is not getting away without facing repercussions for the attack. He is slated to return to court on Tuesday to face charges in connection to attacking Holthus but before a different judge.
Last week, Redden had begged Holthus not to sentence him to time behind bars. He claimed he was ‘a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is’.
‘I’m not a rebellious person,’ he said at the time. ‘But if it’s appropriate for you, then you have to do what you have to do.’
But Holthus did not grant Redden’s request for probation in light of his long rap sheet.
