"Attacker of Las Vegas Judge Faces New Attempted Murder Charge"

Deobra Redden, who attacked a Las Vegas judge during a sentencing hearing, now faces a new charge of attempted murder. The 30-year-old, already a three-time felon, lunged at Judge Mary Kay Holthus, slamming her head against a wall and assaulting her staff. Despite the attack, Holthus upheld Redden's original sentence of 19 months to four years for attempted battery. The attempted murder charge was enhanced due to Holthus' age, and Redden also faces charges of battery on a protected person and extortion in a separate case.
