A man in Las Vegas, Deobra Redden, has been sentenced to up to 65 years in prison for assaulting a judge in a court in Las Vegas. The incident occurred when he jumped over a court bench and attacked the judge, causing injuries to her and others in the courtroom.
Redden, 31, pleaded “guilty but mentally ill” to charges including attempted murder and assault on a judge. His attorney, Carl Arnold, confirmed the sentencing this week, revealing a plea deal that reflected Redden’s untreated mental illness at the time of the incident.
The attack occurred in January at the Clark County District Court, where Redden reacted aggressively to a previous sentence, resulting in the assault on the judge and other officials present.
Another case in Las Vegas involves Ryan Heider, who faces trial for allegedly stabbing a woman at a Downtown motel. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries and Heider was later arrested for the attack.
Additionally, there was a tragic incident involving a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department officer, Colton Pulsipher, who was fatally injured in a crash on I-15. The details of the crash, including the involvement of a wrong-way driver, led to injuries and fatalities.
