Nevada Man Indicted for Attempted Murder of Judge

A Nevada man, Deobra Redden, who made headlines for leaping over a judicial bench to attack Judge Mary Kay Holthus in Clark County has been indicted by a grand jury for attempted murder. The incident occurred after Redden was denied probation in a court hearing on January 3, as seen in courtroom video obtained by Fox News Digital.

The video of the attack went viral, showing Redden flying in the air and landing on the judge, causing injuries to both Holthus and a marshal near her. Redden's nine-count indictment includes allegations of attempted murder, battery on a protected person resulting in substantial bodily harm, and battery by a prisoner, among other charges.

Case Impact and Concerns

This marks a significant development in the case that has brought to light issues of violence against judges and raised questions about the defendant's mental health history.
