| How Is The Las Vegas Judge That Was Attacked |
From Courtroom Chaos to Calm (Mostly)
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
The internet practically went ballistic when footage of the attack went viral. Judge Holthus, bless her heart, went from serving justice to dodging a flying defendant in what can only be described as a scene straight out of a wacky courtroom comedy (if such a genre existed). Thankfully, she wasn't seriously injured, though one can only imagine the adrenaline rush that must have been a doozy.
The Defendant's Defense: A Plea of Not-So-Sound Mind
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
The man who, shall we say, took exception to his sentence (attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, no less) is Deobra Redden. Dude went all "leaping over the bench" like he was auditioning for Cirque du Soleil, but with much less grace and a whole lot more rage. His defense? Not guilty by reason of insanity. Buckle up, legal eagles, this case is about to get interesting (and maybe a touch philosophical).

QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
So, What's the Latest on Judge Holthus?
Last we heard, Judge Holthus is doing well. No word on whether she's added any extra security measures to her courtroom (though frankly, who wouldn't after that whole ordeal?). One can only hope this experience hasn't dulled her sense of humor – the legal system needs all the laughs it can get.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
