Las Vegas Man Who Recently Attacked Judge Sentenced To Up To Four Years In Prison for Previous Charges

Redden made his appearance a little past 9:30 a.m. to resume his sentencing hearing regarding a previous assault with a baseball bat. The initial hearing was abruptly interrupted last Wednesday when he vaulted over the judicial bench. Nevertheless, Holthus was able to proceed with sentencing Redden to a prison term of 19 to 48 months for his 2021 baseball bat assault. In the brief hearing, she stated that she was not altering or reconsidering the sentence in light of her recent attack.

Redden is scheduled to appear before a different judge on Tuesday to address the charges related to the attack on Holthus. His assault last week occurred during his plea to Holthus, begging her not to sentence him to prison for the baseball bat attack. He claimed to be “a person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is.”  At that moment, Redden was not restrained, but as he was about to be handcuffed, he erupted in a tirade of expletives. He then vaulted over a defense table, leaped over the judge’s bench, and landed on top of Holthus, causing her to be knocked off her chair.
