Nevada judge attacked by airborne defendant during sentencing in Vegas courtroom
A 30-year-old defendant, Deobra Delone Redden, attacked staff at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas, leading to multiple new felony charges including battery on a protected person. The incident occurred as the judge announced her intention to jail Redden, previously evaluated and found mentally competent to stand trial. He had previously been sentenced for a reduced charge of attempted battery causing substantial bodily harm and served prison time for a domestic battery conviction. In response to the incident, court officials announced they are reviewing all protocols to ensure the safety of the judiciary, the public, and employees.
