Channel 13 has obtained video of a Clark County District Court judge being violently attacked by a man during a hearing on Wednesday morning.
WARNING: THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE, VIOLENCE. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
The man involved in the attack is Delone Redden, who was being sentenced for aggravated battery with substantial bodily harm prior to the attack on Judge Mary Kay Holthus. He entered a guilty plea in a previous hearing.
The video shows Judge Holthus denying Redden’s request for probation due to his criminal history and preparing to sentence him to jail time. Redden can be seen then leaping over the judge’s bench to tackle her.
…
According to the Las Vegas District Court, Judge Holthus experienced some injuries and her condition is being monitored. The marshal sustained injuries and has been transported to the hospital.
That’ll fix things for him for sure!
“It’s a bold move, Cotton. Let’s see how it plays out.”
Probably ten years, seven minimum with a $10k fine plus court costs on the assault alone. Additional five years likely with all of the contempt of the court and related charges. Then again, he was denied bail for his prior so he might fall in NRS 207.010 which would put him into Class A felony territory. Which then that would be ten minimum with max twenty-five years.
Either way, he’s going to be getting plenty of time for self reflection. Last I checked Judges tend to not like that kind of stuff in their court.
That will help at his parole hearings fo sho
He was being sentenced for aggravated battery? It can’t possibly be true!
Yeah, I was certain it was going to be embezzling from a bank
It must be tough to be a judge. Here’s the video of what led up to the guy leaping at her. He’s explaining why he thinks he doesn’t need to be locked up. To me, he says all the right things: he didn’t realize he had a problem but he was shown he has a mental health issue. Here’s gotten help for it and he’s much better now, he only wants to do good and he doesn’t have authority issues, etc. He seems meek and humble. Then the judge says she thinks he needs to face some consequences and she’s going to deny the request and he loses it and leaps onto her and starts beating on her. So clearly he still has some pretty serious issues. How do you tell?
How do u tell??? Lmfao. You born yesterday.
3 felonies 9 misdemeanors and multiple dvs
The judge knew. Bailiffs got caught slipping. Watch the full video. He whips the bailiffs ass with a few good ones before they get him down fully.
Lol that dude in the back hammer fisting his butt and back. 🤣
I mean this is a terrible thing and all, but, since it sounds like everyone is generally ok, there are many parts of this that are hilarious. And I know people got hurt here, and I think that’s bad, but I think it’s possible to see the humorous absurd while also recognizing and condemning the violent and sad.
That dude was straight planking in midair for one. I mean he went full send on that leap!
I’ll show you who’s not fit for probation!
Those bailiffs need to be fired
Three time felon. He was probably going in for the rest of his life anyway. This was a calculated move, and he would have killed her if he could have I’m sure. What else does he have to lose but his life? He probably doesn’t care about that either. I don’t condone it but I think I understand what goes through the heads of society’s garbage bin citizens.
wrong state for that. he was gonna get a couple years at best.
But, but, we definitely can reform him! /s
we could have reformed him - 30 years ago when he was still a child in the public school system. the state could have made sure he was being fed, that his parents were capable, and gave him a good education and introduced him into a society that didn’t feel like his life was over before it began.
but yes; at this point now, it’s probably best that he be put out his misery before he hurts others.
Sure we can have a long debate about personal responsibility vs societal responsability. I would still argue that many people who grow up in 3rd world countries do no end up intrinsincly criminals by virtue of living with injustice. I just don’t think that going full “Falling Down” mode on society is warranted in advanced democracies.
3rd world countries aren’t completely driven by material consumerism either. you actually just made a strong case for how something is broken in america.
Video doesn’t play, lol.
Comments in this post have a YouTube link. I had to watch it that way
He literally jumped towards freedom…ooops
Great way to demonstrate that you are fit to roam free in society. Idiot.
As long as this jumping living item is thrown away somewhere I’m ok with it. It’s like a landfill just toss and forget. Not even sorry.
All judges are power drunk fuck heads, I couldn’t care less when I read stories like this.
You know all judges?
the Bootlick meter is currently 6 against, 28 for muddy tongues
That’s a sad truth!
