"Defendant to Face Judge Again After Wild Courtroom Attack"

Defendant Deobra Redden, who attacked Judge Mary Kay Holthus in a wild courtroom brawl, is scheduled to appear before her again in Las Vegas. Redden, facing prison time for a felony battery charge, leaped over the judge's bench and attacked her after she refused to show leniency. He faces charges including extortion, coercion with force, and battery on a protected person. Redden's criminal record is marked by violent offenses, and the judge is expected to continue sentencing in his other case involving a baseball bat attack.
