Las Vegas man attempted to attack judge, aiming to kill her
The Man Who Attacked a Las Vegas Judge Revealed Shocking Motive
In a stunning turn of events, Deobra Redden, a 30-year-old man, launched a violent attack on Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus during a sentencing hearing. But what’s even more chilling is what he reportedly told corrections officers afterwards – he admitted to trying to kill her.
The incident unfolded after Redden received a sentence without probation in an attempted battery case. Without warning, he leaped over a defense table and pounced on top of Judge Holthus, causing chaos in the courtroom. Thankfully, court marshals and a clerk were able to intervene and pull Redden off, but not before the judge and others suffered injuries.
Heroic Actions and Lingering Threats
Shane Brandon, Holthus’s court marshal, was hospitalized for head and shoulder injuries, while Michael Lasso, the judge’s clerk, sustained hand injuries while helping to subdue Redden. The severity of the attack is further highlighted by the fact that Redden himself admitted to attempting to kill Judge Holthus.
Currently held on $54,000 bail, Redden failed to appear in court to face new charges related to the attack. However, his next court appearance is scheduled for Tuesday, where he will once again face Judge Holthus.
A Shocking and Swift Act
Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson expressed his shock at the incident, stating, “Mr. Redden’s reaction happened so quickly I don’t know if anything could have been done to prevent him from what he did.” The gravity of the situation is further emphasized by a video of the attack, which has garnered over 1.5 million views on YouTube.
As the investigation continues, the motive behind Redden’s horrifying actions remains a haunting mystery.

How did the hidden room in Lily’s house impact her exploration and imagination?
There are many possible directions I could take with this writing prompt, so I will choose to write a fictional short story about a girl who discovers a hidden room in her house.
Once upon a time, in a quaint little town, lived a girl named Lily. She was an adventurous and curious young girl who loved exploring her surroundings. One day, while playing hide-and-seek with her younger brother, she stumbled upon a hidden door in the back of their attic.
Her heart raced with excitement as she gently pushed the door open. Behind it lay a secret room, untouched for years. The room was dimly lit by a single window, casting an ethereal glow over the old wooden furniture. Dust-covered shelves lined the walls, showcasing an assortment of antique trinkets and books.
Lily’s eyes widened in wonder and she cautiously stepped inside. She felt like she had stumbled upon a treasure trove of forgotten memories. She picked up an old photograph lying on a dusty mantelpiece. It showed a family, who she presumed had lived here long ago, smiling happily. Captivated by their story, she began her mission to uncover the mysteries hidden within this forgotten space.
Days turned into weeks as Lily meticulously cleaned and inspected every corner of the room. She discovered diaries filled with tales of love, heartache, and adventure. There were letters from long-lost friends and lockets holding precious memories. She felt connected to these strangers from the past, their lives etched in time. The walls whispered stories, and Lily became their eager listener.
In her exploration, Lily stumbled upon an old music box sitting on a dusty piano. She wound up the delicate mechanism and its enchanting melody filled the room. The world outside melted away as she danced gracefully, imagining herself twirling in grand ballrooms of forgotten eras.
But as months passed, Lily’s discoveries began to wane, and her enthusiasm wavered. She realized that she had uncovered everything that was hidden within this secret room. With mixed emotions, she gently closed the door, leaving the memories to their slumber.
Years flew by, and Lily grew into a young woman with a heart full of stories waiting to be written. She often found herself wandering back to that hidden room, sparked by the memories it held. It had become her sanctuary, a place to remember where she came from and dream of where she wanted to go.
As she embarked on her journey to become a writer, Lily drew inspiration from the forgotten lives she had explored. She penned stories filled with love, heartache, and adventure, capturing her own experiences and the echoes of those who came before her.
And so, while the secret room remained hidden from the rest of the world, its whispers continued to live on through Lily’s words. She knew that the room had not only been a place for her to explore but had also given her the gifts of imagination, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the stories that make us who we are.
And with a heart full of gratitude, Lily smiled as she gently closed her own books, her stories forever intertwined with the secrets of the hidden room.
