Thug who attacked judge this year sentenced to whopping prison time

The thug who superman lunged at a judge at the beginning of this year was just sentenced to a whopping amount of prison time and won’t even be eligible for parole for at least 26 years.

The judge, different from the one who was attacked by Deobra Redden in January, sentenced Redden to a term anywhere from 26 to 65 years in prison.

Here’s the news:

A judge sentenced the man who attacked another Las Vegas judge earlier this year to at least 26 years in prison, saying the incident was an attack on the entire judiciary.

On Jan. 3, Deobra Redden, 31, attacked Las Vegas District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus as Holthus was sentencing him to prison in another case, the 8 News Now Investigators first reported.

During his trial for attempted murder in September, Redden pleaded guilty but mentally ill after Holthus and her law clerk testified. Redden’s scheduled sentencing two weeks ago was rescheduled because he was not transported from prison to the court.

On Tuesday, prosecutors asked District Court Judge Susan Johnson for substantial prison time while Redden’s attorneys suggested he serve a concurrent prison sentence he was already serving under Holthus. Redden’s attorney, Carl Arnold, said the time amounted to 4-11 years.

Redden was serving prison time on the attempted battery charge, which Holthus sentenced him to as the initial hearing continued on Jan. 8.

Johnson declined to sentence Redden concurrently as his attorney asked. Instead, she sentenced him to an aggregate prison term of 26-65 years. With credit for time served, Redden would be eligible for parole in the 2050s.

Redden deserves every bit of this and I’m glad they are throwing the book at him.
