Make no mistake, this animal didn’t attack that brave judge simply because he was denied bail. He lost his mind because in Bidens America, this career criminal seriously thought he was going home on bail again! – Vince Langman
In a disturbing incident that recently unfolded in a Nevada courtroom, a defendant violently attacked Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus after she denied him probation. This alarming incident, captured in a viral video, has raised concerns among experts, who assert that violence against U.S. judges is escalating into a more significant problem.
After the attack on a Las Vegas judge, in a holding cell near the courtroom, Deobra Redden reportedly told an officer, “Judge has it out for me,” “Judge is evil,” “I’m sorry you guys had to see that.” – David Charns
The footage, obtained by FOX 5 Las Vegas, depicts the defendant, Deobra Redden, launching himself at Judge Holthus and a court marshal immediately after his probation request was denied. Former senior deputy district attorney for the 18th Judicial District of Colorado, Kevin Ellmann, remarked on this unsettling trend, stating, “There seems to be a trend toward lawlessness… that has swept across various parts of the country.” He emphasized the regular occurrence of such behaviors and the lack of accountability for those resorting to violence.

Ellmann, now the president of Ellmann & Ellmann P.C., attributed these actions to bond reform and the absence of robust prosecution policies in different jurisdictions. Without accountability, perpetrators, particularly those dealing with mental health issues, feel unrestrained and unafraid to act out.
Crazed violent creep attacks judge in Las Vegas- leaps over desk to attack her and hit her in head. He can get out in bail for $8000. But Jan 6ers in prison for over 3 years without bail. – Wayne Root
The attack on Judge Holthus is a rare but consistent example of threats and protests against judges following decisions that displease the public. Ellmann highlighted a recent break-in by an armed assailant at the Colorado Supreme Court building, emphasizing the urgent need for public accountability to curb the rise in frequency and severity of such attacks on the justice system.

This assault on Judge Holthus is not an isolated incident, as several high-profile assaults against judges have occurred in recent years. In a similar case from February 2021, a defendant in a domestic violence case attempted to attack Pike County Judge Aubrey Rimes in a Mississippi courtroom. Retired Lt. Randy Sutton, a law enforcement veteran, mentioned that physical attacks on judges within courtrooms are relatively rare due to the presence of security personnel. However, attacks outside courtrooms, threats at judges’ homes, and protests have become more prevalent.
Despite physical attacks being rare, the U.S. Marshals Service recorded around 4,500 threats against U.S. judges in 2022. Ronald Davis, the director of the U.S. Marshals Service, reported these alarming statistics. Some threats escalate to the point of plotting and succeeding in killing judges, as seen in the cases of Judge Andrew Wilkinson in Maryland, Judge John Roemer in Wisconsin, and the racially motivated attack on the family of federal judge Esther Salas in New Jersey.
Salas, who lost her son in the 2020 attack, emphasized the need for increased legal protection for judges. She highlighted the vulnerability of judges, particularly regarding the lack of laws protecting their personally identifiable information. Although President Biden signed the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act into law in December, Salas insists that more stringent measures are necessary to prevent judges from becoming victims of targeted crimes.

To Sum It All Up: the violent attack on Judge Holthus serves as a stark reminder of the growing threats against U.S. judges. The need for enhanced security measures, both inside and outside courtrooms, is evident. As the legal system grapples with this disturbing trend, it becomes imperative to enact and enforce legislation that safeguards judges’ safety, information, and well-being. Only through comprehensive efforts can the justice system deter potential assailants and ensure the protection of those tasked with upholding the law.

- In a shocking turn of events during a sentencing hearing in Las Vegas, Deobra Redden, facing charges of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, violently attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus. The prosecutor, highlighting Redden’s history of violent crimes, had advocated for a prison term. Redden, in his defense, claimed to be in a better mental state, supported by a new job and a better support system. His attorney argued for a suspended sentence, citing his mental health history and successful completion of previous probation programs. Judge Holthus, considering these arguments, leaned towards a stricter sentence, stating the need for Redden to experience “something else” due to his criminal background. This remark seemed to provoke Redden, who then verbally assaulted the judge, charged towards the bench, leaped over it, and physically attacked her. The courtroom quickly descended into chaos as a nearby individual and a court officer struggled to subdue Redden. The intense scene was marked by Judge Holthus’s audible distress and the activation of an alarm. The aftermath of the attack saw Judge Holthus standing up and being escorted out of the courtroom by officers. A court officer was injured in the incident. Fortunately, Judge Holthus was unharmed. The legal community and the public are closely following the developments of this case, anticipating further updates, including potential additional charges against Redden and discussions on enhancing courtroom security measures.

- A man who was in the process of being sentenced in a Las Vegas courtroom launch himself over a judge’s bench and attack her. Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus tried to take cover when Deobra Redden yelled out expletives during the sentencing and ran at her. Video shows him flying over the bench and violently pull her to the floor. Chaos then ensued with at least three other men in the courtroom struggling to pull Redden away from the judge. One of them, who could be a court clerk, is captured repeatedly hitting a combative Redden. Later, a woman is heard saying, “Please, God. Please, God. Please, Jesus,” as the judge remains on the floor. Redden, 30, was at the hearing for a charge of attempted battery with substantial bodily harm when he attacked Holthus, according to the court.
