The scale is difficult to be sure about but it looks like a small courtroom, so the space between the table and the bench, called the well, is small + the bench is low. Plus he looks really big. Just a confluence of configuration and circumstance that allowed this animal to strike. Most unfortunate. They’ll max him out when he’s charged and convicted with the felony battery on the judge and the bailiff. I don’t know NV law, but based on the brief discussion of his serious priors, perhaps life with the possibility of parole in 12 or 15 years
The thug really caught some air going over the top though... that was impressive...
Still deserves to be taken out back and “put down”. With that record? He’s irredeemable this side of St Peter’s check-in counter...
