A man who leaped over a judicial bench and attacked a Nevada judge during a sentencing hearing in Las Vegas last month that was captured in a courtroom video that went viral has now been indicted for attempted murder.
A grand jury returned the nine-count indictment against Deobra Redden, 30, in Las Vegas on Thursday.
His arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 29.
Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus was about to deliver Redden’s sentence in an attempted battery case on Jan. 3 when he lunged over the bench at her.
Courtroom cameras recorded as Holthus’ clerk and a court marshal fought with Redden to restrain him in the wild video that was widely viewed on the internet and social media posts.
A week later Judge Holthus sentenced him to up to four years in prison for the battery charge he had pleaded guilty to in November.
The new indictment for attempted murder alleges that Redden attacked Holthus “by grabbing her, pulling her hair, placing his hands around her throat and/or hitting her on the head by manner and means unknown.”
He’s also accused of “punching and/or kicking and/or pushing” a Las Vegas police officer.

Feral negroe savage. Again.
Damn. I thought the U.S. Olympic Diving team would pick him up as one of their divers.
IIRC didn’t this very judge let this guy slide on several previous occasions?
If that’s accurate, she brought this on herself by not doing her job in the first place.
Even a divers’ gotta be able to swim
The Judge’s staff should never be allowed to live down not doing a better job to protect her from that Flying Felon.
Maybe they need to start having practice runs on what to do for the next time a Thug makes this attempt. Like a fire drill.
Wierd how,when a judge is pers9nally affected that they go for attempted murder charges, but when judges and lawyers aren’t personally affected, they let murderers and violent criminals skate because they don’t want to be accused of racism or not caring for the feelings of the criminals
Yes. It takes a very hard personal experience with violence to change their leftist little minds.
Barbara Boxer comes to mind
Hope he gets a full pardon.
Yep. Assault a judge and its attempted murder.
Assault a citizen and it’s simple battery.
Something is wrong with that picture.
I saw a tape of a young white guy try the same thing years ago. When the sentence was read, he blew up and went for the judge. The court officers were on him like a duck on a bug.
It proves that jerks come in all colors.
Two different systems of justice, and apparently two different standards of victims.
with and an additional sentence of up to the same if the person attacked was over 60
Courtroom security should have had him shackled and in an orange jumpsuit.
This was a sentencing after the defendant had already been convicted.
I remember that video. There were many soy boys who just stood by while the attack happened.
