LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — A judge is sentencing the man who attacked a Las Vegas judge earlier this year.
The sentencing was scheduled to begin at noon.
In January, Deobra Redden, 31, attacked Las Vegas District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus as Holthus was sentencing him to prison in another case, the 8 News Now Investigators first reported.
During his trial for attempted murder in September, Redden pleaded guilty but mentally ill after Holthus and her law clerk testified. Redden’s scheduled sentencing two weeks ago was rescheduled because he was not transported from prison to the court.
Prosecutors were expected to ask for substantial prison time while Redden’s attorneys suggested probation, documents said.
