LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — WARNING: The attached video contains violence and strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.

A Las Vegas judge was attacked during a sentencing hearing on Wednesday -- and the incident was captured on video.

Deobra Redden swore at Judge Mary Kay Holthus as she handed down the sentence, then jumped over the bench and lunged at her.

Redden was scheduled to be sentenced for a charge of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm. Before the attack, a prosecutor said Redden had a history of violent crimes and asked for a prison term. Past charges include home invasion, domestic violence and battery on a protected person.

Speaking on his own behalf, Redden said he was "in a better place in my mind," had a better support system and had a new job.

"I feel like I shouldn't be sent to prison, but if it's appropriate for you, then you gotta do what you gotta do," he said.

Redden's attorney also argued for a suspended sentence, citing previous completions of probation programs, his mental health history and his background.

"I appreciate that, but I think it's time that he get a taste of something else," Holthus responded. "Because I just can't with that history."

That's when Redden swore at Holthus, jumped over the bench and leapt onto the judge, leading to a melee as he attacked her. A man next to Holthus and a court marshal both tried to hold Redden back and subdue him.

"Hey, get off her. Get off her. Don't do this!" someone yells.

Several people eventually started to hit Redden to get him to stop, though much of the response took place off-camera. Holthus can be heard yelling out during the attack, as well.

"Is she okay?" another person asks.

Someone activated an alarm and Redden could be heard yelling as people checked on Holthus. One of the court marshals can be seen holding a cloth or tissue to his head, as well.

Holthus was eventually able to stand after a few minutes, and officers escorted her out of the courtroom before ordering all other defendants out.

News 3 was told a marshal was taken to a hospital for examination, as well as Holthus. Both are expected to be okay. \

Police later said a criminal investigation is currently being conducted.
 
And the DA or any guy who supported the probation for that guy might sweat a bit now.
Eh, it's probably a Public Defender. Which means he's likely used to arguing for a client he knows damn well is guilty- especially since this guy has been arrested for similar crimes before.

Like Jews: the stereotypically horrible ones are a single-digit minority in the group, but they're so bad that they have a high visibility and notoriety.

The problem is that if the good ones really are the majority, they are a silent one. The Basketball-American community needs to be much more vocal about calling out their bad apples. Less "He di'in' do nuffin'!" and more "Dat nigga got what he deesurv!" Because when the good ones keep silent, it makes them all look like worthless niggers.

Indeed, but doing that, they would be called sellouts like Carlton Banks.

OTOH, weirdos like Kaepernick would see this as a injustice for that black guy.
 
I see that Las Vegas is not fucking around this time.
