Las Vegas Man Pleads Guilty to Judge Attack

Deobra Redden, who was filmed attacking Judge Mary Kay Holthus in a Las Vegas courtroom during his sentencing on January 3, has pleaded guilty but mentally ill to attempted murder. Redden's attorney noted that he had not taken his schizophrenia medication on the day of the attack and has a history of violent crimes. During the ongoing trial, Judge Holthus described the chaotic moments of the attack, expressing her fear for her life and the potential impact on her family due to the recorded incident. Redden maintains a not guilty plea, citing insanity, despite his earlier guilty pleas to multiple charges related to the incident. The trial continues as both sides argue the intent behind Redden's actions. Sentencing for Redden is scheduled for November.
