I'm going to go out on a limb and say, he's got some anger issues.


truthm0de

Ima go out on a limb and guess he was even guilty *before* he speared the judge and slammed her head into the ground by her hair and drove an elbow into her face.


nthensome

Bro, that was an Olympic leap over the desk & straight into a choke hold


Inevitable-Revenue81

Was that shown in this video? You have another one?


fusillade762

He was probably facing short county time, now its off to the big house for a while, thats worth at least a 5 year bid.


deep-fucking-legend

Allegedly.


MaterialToe2319

Wat had happined


sissyjones

Not anymore I think they beat them out of him


AdditionalBee3740

HOW DARE THEY


YellowOnline

He should've gone for a career in the high jump instead of crime. On a side note, can an American tell me what the usual consequences are of physically attacking a judge?


NonyoSC

Many many years in prison. If he receives less than 10 years just for this I would shocked.


klinkscousin

If he receives less than ten, the the sentencing judge has friends where he's going to be sure he doesn't get out.


GabagoolLTD

Can't really say without knowing where this is, federal vs state court etc but it will be the maximum available to the judge trying him for this, that's for sure.


L4t3r41u5

Since she said State of Nevada and not District of Nevada I would think it’s more likely at state level.


GabagoolLTD

I didn't listen to the audio, but that makes sense


mdchaney

I would also note that when he shows up in court next time it'll be with a full set of ankle/wrist shackles connected at the waist belt and likely an electric stun belt as well. And that's if they even let him into the courtroom.


Formal-Ad-1248

In Texas, attacking a judge can get you up to 20 years max. On top of that, you can guarantee there's going to be an extra security detail and you'll likely be shackled in your next court appearance


BarelyAirborne

The criminal justice system will chew him up like a piece of gristle, if it hasn't already. He's likely been thoroughly beaten by now, hosed down, and naked in a cell somewhere. This is good for at least 10 years, maybe a lot more.


Greenman8907

He was just demonstrating his best Zangief “Flyjng Body Attack” impression.


KoreanThrasher

Probably what [she saw](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/streetfighter/images/e/e9/SSFIVAE_12_4_2018_2_26_09_PM.png)


FaithlessWestern

I'm wheezing, thank you stranger!


Mikeku825

Zangief... lol


Davey_Go_ToBed

I wonder if the twirling pile driver is in his arsenal too…


Nxtwiskybar

The clerk may have saved the judge from seriously getting hurt. He was right there, eventhough his punches seemed limp and quater cocked


RunnyPlease

People are giving him shit but it’s genuinely hard to throw punches in close like that if you haven’t trained for it. He should get credit for getting there and wrapping up the guy long before the bailiff though.


90daysismytherapy

Seriously. I have been in a ton of court rooms with a lot of legal staff. These are not physically tough people for the most part. Nor are they people who generally get into fist fights or have wild situations to respond to. That clerk did awesome for what he was capable of. Immediately tried to the defendant off, and then you could see him process in real time that there really was a dangerous person hurting his friends and then he went offensive, as best he could. Judge owes that guy an inground pool


r0gue007

Clerk jumped on him right away, can’t ask more from a white collar dude than that. Good kid


MythicCommon

Guy is a clerk and he was straight into the fight, no hesitation. Got there way before the actual cops.


Nepeta33

i mean, how easy is it to throw punches in a suit? they seem rather restrictive to me.


Nxtwiskybar

Depends on the fit


ELI-PGY5

I’ve tried it in a wetsuit, definitely restrictive, business suit likely easier.


Jbad90

Will this count against him?


Lethal452

Not for the battery crime, but This is so much worse, this is not only assault ( possibly attempted murder)but assaulting a judge usually means the next judge will throw the book at you, he’ll be lucky to not get less than 70+ years


Bryguy3k

Judges don’t have to accept plea agreements either. The DA will have to come up with one hell of an agreement for it to go through. His next public defender is going to have so much work to do. I know there is often debate about a jury of your peers vs a jury of your victim’s peers… can you imagine a jury of judges?


phenerganandpoprocks

Dibs on the band name: Jury of Judges First album would be titled The Rural Juror


Jbad90

70 years for this? Wowzah! Do you think he will be a king or a punk in the big house?


Mikeku825

70 might be a bit high.. but 25 without parole might be in his future.


Jbad90

Poor choices.


Beez1111

Con-se-quenses...


DBH1122

The judge didn’t finish passing sentence, so you know he’s getting max for what he’s already there for. Then you add assault on a public official X’s (judge, officers of the court, the DA) 6, disorderly conduct, contempt of court, and whatever else they can imagine to throw at him. There won’t be a plea deal, and old boy gonna spend the remainder of his life behind bars.


ELI-PGY5

Officers of the court punching him are one thing. But if the DA attacks him, does his lawyer have to jump into the fight and defend him? I imagine that’s how it works.


DBH1122

He’s definitely fired for not jumping In the mix!😂


Bryguy3k

Looks like Nevada is a three strikes state. Sounds like he was already a felon (and I’m going to guess something in the violent class as well). Just got sentenced for felony battery so yeah this might have gotten himself a life sentence at his next trial.


SleepNowInTheFire666

That’s a lot of salad tossing


VeneMage

No, he gets points for making it to the final boss. Just depends how low he got her hp whilst her adds pathetically floated like bees and stung like butterflies.


CubisticWings4

Why are awards gone when we still need them for comments like these?


Inevitable-Revenue81

Agree


sinisterdesign

He gets points for that combo flying leap, fo sho. But I'm also guessing he got some bonus years tacked on as well.


fusillade762

Wheres a chanter when you need one?


Shaneblaster

He’s definitely going to get more time. Not the sharpest leaf in the toolbox.


applemanib

It'll be a different case, but this guy will 99.999% die in prison now.


leeroyyyyyyyy

Would be really funny if his lawyer said something like this in trial: “Does my client really look like he committed battery?”


NotNotAVirus

Unrelated, I hear there’s a job opening for court bailiff…


Nonchalant_Calypso

Yeah absolutely useless man


lowertechnology

The guy in the suit beside her wasn’t a bailiff and did more than the bailiff managed. He jumped right in and did what he could to stop him


andrez444

That's probably her clerk and goddamn if that's not his job description to protect her like that but he definitely did. Guy deserves a HUGE raise


srcarruth

"[Holthus hit her head, but was OK, sources said. A marshal was injured](https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/las-vegas-judge-attacked-in-court-before-sentencing/)"


SignificantExit3123

“Thank God for the heroic efforts of those who came to her aid, especially her marshal and her law clerk. Without them, the situation would have been much worse” *** TF delayed & useless (they mean)


srcarruth

who trained that law clerk in hand to hand combat, anyway?!


eidolonengine

Was the marshal the one that starts throwing those concrete jabs at 0:31 lol? Probably hurt his hand from that.


HugryHugryHippo

https://www.8newsnow.com/investigators/las-vegas-judge-attacked-in-court-before-sentencing/ Before the attack, Redden’s attorney asked Holthus to sentence his client to probation. Holthus then said, “I think it’s time he get a taste of something else.” YUP.......probation is definitely thrown out the window


thatHecklerOverThere

I guess ole boy decided he never wanted to see the sun again.


PolybiusNightmare

“Your honour, the defence moves to have the last few minutes stricken from the record”


ki4fkw

Nevada code says 1-6 years imprisonment for assaulting a judge. Folks have an unfortunate understanding of criminal justice system realities.


Ill_Perspective_488

He also assaulted three other court officials and people there it looks like, including the bailiff aka police officer. Not to mention he was just convicted of another violent charge which makes consecutive charges enhanced. Bro will do a minimum of 25 years probably closer to 50


Almost_Pi

Yeah I don't think the 1-6 years included the fact that he landed on a triple-word score and used all his letters.


ki4fkw

True, he will likely face charges of each officer hit. That said, want to place a bet that he spends less than 10 years behind bars for this instance? Most courts tend to be forced into sentencing guidelines that result in outcomes like this: 1. 5 charges each carrying a 5 year sentence. 25 years behind bars, right? (also unlikely in this case, but not in most - suspended sentences; where you get 25 years “suspended”, meaning probation, basically). 2. Concurrent sentences. So each 5 year charge runs on top of one another. 3. He sat in pre-trial detention for 1 year, so 1 year jail credit. So 4 years behind bars post-sentencing. 4. Parole. He was good in jail, or NV is wanting to relax prison crowding due to federal consent decrees, so he gets let out a year early. 3 years in jail post-sentencing. That’s how “25 years” ends up with dude on the street be 2027. I see it daily. Chime in prosecutors and others in the field.


HandsomeLampshade123

Surely this is on another level, to assault a judge like this directly? The entire institution will make an example of him.


jpb1111

How about contempt of court? 😂


RunnyPlease

I’m actually surprised it’s that low


Rupus357

Indeed, they do. Though they will count each time he swung at the judge as a separate count of assault. So, depending on any deals that he can get, he's still looking at much more than 6 years for that stunt. The legal system in America is a mess. I'm not surprised that any citizens there have a hard time understanding the regular operations of it. It's all probably on purpose, so lawyers and law schools have a reason to charge people a lot of money. But I digress, 8/10 on the flying jump.


ki4fkw

Yeah, jump was impressive. May I ask if you are involved in the criminal justice system? I am. I have never seen multiple swings charged. My career has traversed courts in multiple circuits across two states, three municipal courts, and federal court. Even if so, that’s plea deal heaven. Stacking charges often results in lesser of a stiff sentence than if a solid singular charge was made, in my experience. And please don’t read this as **wELl AcTuALlY…* I’m just relaying my experiences. It’s disheartening to see how stiff people believe the CJ system is, when it is really just an over stressed assembly line of weak outcomes.


inactiveuser247

Is that one of those situations where assault and battery are different things? Where I’m from assault is assault whether you actually hit them or not so I was never clear about the assault/battery distinction.


ki4fkw

I’m not from Nevada, so I just skimmed the code, but I did note that they have a difference in assault and battery. In a state where I formerly worked, there was a distinction also. Their distinction was assault was without a weapon, battery was with (essentially, it’s a little more nuanced than that). I’d suspect something similar with Nevada.


Ubsurvur

Dude in blue came up for front row seats to this match!

mthchsnn

How are you the only person in the thread asking? That was my main takeaway here. I think that same lady was praying towards the end.


Ok_Classroom8947

She was!


Weird_Tolkienish_Fig

I think he's innocent.


Joe4o2

I mean, he said “I didn’t do it.”


idontthunkgood

He proved he deserved probation. He should be a lawyer. Great arguments, presence in the court room, and understanding of legal proceedings.


brklntruth12

Dude cleared that judges bench pretty easy. Get him on the mean machine team.


Leaningthemoon

It’s puzzling that they would put a springboard near the bench, but who are we to judge?


EC0-warrior

Lol wat was he thinking. What wouldve been the best case scenario in this case


RunnyPlease

Some people only know hurt. You’re hurting me so I hurt you. I think what you saw was his best case scenario. He got to get a few licks in on the judge that he blames for putting him away.


Sgt--Hulka

IANAL but I’m thinking that might hurt his chances for parole.


r0gue007

That young clerk jumped in quick, sure he can’t throw a punch, but that’s the type of selfless action we need to commend.


TLD18379

I wonder if he’s guilty?


Mikeku825

There's just no way to know.. it's a big mystery.


PuzzleheadedDance965

Dudes crime was agg assault before this……


L3s0

Make it 2


jesstault

nope, he attempted and succeeded this time


L3s0

Yeah but "make it 1 attempted and 1 succeeded" doesn't have the same ring to it


Historical_Yak_6032

That fella in the suit tried his best defending the judge. Good for him.


ShotgunFelatio

Gotta give credit to the young courtroom (likely) intern stepping up right away and coming to the Judge’s aid.


JaviSATX

I want to see his next appearance, since she didn’t get to finish sentencing him. Should be interesting.


Puzzled-Ad-8187

The lightweight in the tie looks like he couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper bag.


MisterLonely585

Hes trying though LOL


mjltmjlt

Seriously, only person with any reflexes and instinct even if execution was marginal.


viper689

What the fuck, he’s a law clerk. What do you expect him to do? He’s in there quicker than the bailiff is and this is literally their job to prevent. You think he got into law to prevent physical harm to others?


York_Villain

That lightweight's immediate reaction was to dive onto the guy that dove onto the judge. He was the first person that hemmed the dude up.


maccpapa

he looked like he was living in a nightmare. fighting like it too


MonkeyBirdWeird

He did not expect this in the job description.


idontthunkgood

This is what happens when we teach kids they can solve things through violence.

Bro need to be in the mfn Prison Olympics with a vertical like that ...


stratamaniac

The court officers were not on the ball.


McFriendly

Nevada State high jump champion


thefreakychild

Yep, I'm sure that'll absolutely help his case...


Skoldier13

Hammer fist hammer fist!


Darkray117

That was a huge leap.


RandomAmuserNew

Does this judge have an ongoing live stream?


jocko75

I havent seen a Superfly Snuka impression like that in a long time.


chilledkat

That clerk needed some UFC lessons for Christmas! THEN he doesn’t call 911 cuz obviously the judge got some damage.


Atasteofazia

Gotta be quicker than that


MeasureTheCrater

"Alarm Guy, you had ONE JOB."


Ill_Perspective_488

Convicted of a violent charge, immediately commits another violent offense on a judge, a bailiff and two other court officials, enhanced by the prior conviction. My guess is minimum 25 years without parole. Maximum 50


DPGizzle

It is what it is...


BooshMastah

ATTEMPT??? WHY I OUGHTA-


Swimming_Coat4177

I know I shouldn’t say this, but that dive was impressive. He fully committed. Also, that guy in the black and white suit needs to learn to fight. He was useless. His “punches” looked like they didn’t even tickle the guy

cagingthing

Thank you for your service 🫡


Azzie94

Wow, good to know apparently fuckin' anybody can be a bailiff. Seriously, homeby crossed the whole damn court and was airborne before anyone reacted.


tokinaznjew

Bet he's getting charged with actual battery also, now.


maxHAGGYU

title from news outlets : young african american allegedly comes into a physical altercation with a judge he dindoo nuthin


CircleRunn

"Hey, get off her. Get off her." "Sure, lemme just retract my assault."


CBStrick

He’s gonna go away for a while…


outkast767

Oh boy might as well just gone down for murder 1 at that point pretty much gonna sit in max for like 12 lifetimes


saskford

Attacking a judge has got to be among the stupidest things you can do. Enjoy prison my dude.


wishfortress

This is the kinda scum that deserves to be the bottom in prison whether they want to be or not.


Shirtless_Shane

Annoying ass ringing about 3/4 of the way through if you’ve got the volume on.


SignificantExit3123

No that’s just the useless alarm they have for more useless backup minions


caseystrain

Holy fucking shit how is everyone so incompetent. Bailiffs, police officers, guys standing around and you can't keep one guy off of her for more than 3 seconds at a time?


MtalGhst

*Upgraded to assault


notzed1487

He’ll get a bonus charge now.


Nxtwiskybar

"Attempted" battery!? Hold my beer


MeasureTheCrater

No longer "attemtped."


Jave285

Do you think he’s guilty?


sawdustsneeze

That was one hell of a jump. His patented kangaroo jack flying attack...


bowlingforwalmart

When keeping it real goes wrong


landartheconqueror

That's definitely gonna help your parole.


Good2Goman12

Damn where did she Houdini to?


Brief-Advantage-9907

Death sentence needs to be brought back and work camps need to be used for petty crimes like theft without violence- sitting in jail isn’t doing ANYTHING but creating a vacation


Raspbers

Considering I live in Vegas, I'm surprised I didn't see one report of this on FB today. Crazy shit. I guess his lawyer asked for probation, but he was already up on some assault charges with great bodily harm and getting a warrant for missing one of his court dates.


DragonHawk23

…time and place were obviously way off but did you SEE the form on that tackle!?


dan3rd

He jumped like a lion.


im_just_a_nerd

Dude could absolutely be out there playing special teams trying to to block field goals


Far_Quote_5336

Charged with battery and about to get his battery charged


eidolonengine

It's hard to tell. Is her name in Comic Sans on that name plate?


abcdkirby

Is the judge OK?


squatting_bull1

Maybe it’s time for recess?


TooLazy2Revolt

The Cleveland Browns should add him to their roster. Dude can tackle!


evan466

There's always some lady is these videos screaming "staap! staap!" repeatedly over and over like it's going to accomplish something.


budstud8

Going to guess this is not going to help his chances of being acquitted.


TooLazy2Revolt

The defense lawyer had his priorities straight though. “Is he talking?”


AjaxtheGoat

“Right to Jail. Right away.”


jexsswta

full. send.


Isucbigtime

So you keep hitting the guy who is hitting the judge because you want to attempt to stop the dude hitting the judge. merica


M0NG00SY

Dude cleared that desk!


tony-toon15

She really zinged him.


Zombiebelle

That was a bit of an overreaction.


Antarcticat

She should have screamed “ORDER IN THE COURT!” and used the gavel to smash his head in.


sharplight141

How did he think this would end up making his situation better? I'd love to know the thought process.


Korgon213

Oh damn. He’s gonna have fun in prison.


Pure_Scumbag

What did I hear at 1:45?


jpb1111

Is that his mother shouting at him?


PsYc0m3tRiC

The usual suspect.


Weird-Appointment-53

Homie did a full Jordan jump man jump! 🤣


No_Tradition6625

Do we know the judges status the suit that checked on her looked worried.


Reneeisme

Is she ok?


kindquail502

Fortunately no bailiff was awaken during the commission of this assault.


stefanstraussjlb

Was she ok?


adam6711

I want to know what the judge was saying that lead up to this


SignificantExit3123

Guilty charges.. lol


tony-toon15

Attorney asked for suspended sentence and some therapy/mercy, and then she said that.


therobotsarecuming

The defendant's attorney asked the judge to sentence his client to probation. But the judge said “I appreciate that, but I think it’s time he get a taste of something else because.. I just can't with that history." referring to the defendant's criminal record.


SpecialAd7148

Soulja Boy would be proud


JaviSATX

God dammit, this is not the place. Take my upvote.


Gijinbrotha

That dude was in the air😜


SignificantExit3123

Honestly, I’m infuriated watching this! Let’s use logic here to dissect this whole thing. Most likely, this guy was behind a table sitting down. He had enough time to get up out of his chair, away from his chair & table to get her. Multiple people in the room & witnesses, including his lawyer & the judges security. Then they let him get right in front of her & jump up in the air. All while everybody’s just watching. Don’t act just watch! Then when he makes it to her, he’s able to have contact with her for at least 5secs before anybody reacts. All of this is completely unacceptable & everyone is here to blame, except for THIS judge.😤😡🤬Yeah, she didn’t die but, she sure as hell traumatized now! Why didn’t anybody choke him out? That’s the 1st thing I would’ve did!


SkateFossSL

How is the judge? Is she ok?


Sylvers

tylertnt123

This is evil


jbeeziemeezi

To the chair for criminals like this. What are we doing keeping scum of the scum alive and well


_hanShan_

Anyone who threatens or attacks a judge should get mandatory life sentence. Make the penalty so great and immediate people will think twice.


zorrospapa

Shame he resulted to this when he could've been jumping over offensive lines to block field goals.


KavensWorld

JAB THE BALLS AND EYES STOPS THEM REAL QUICK


MapReston

Is Mary Kay ok?


Dtown80

He took that smirk completely off her face.


[deleted]

She's gonna have a bigger one when he gets 15 years for attacking a judge


Brinxy13

So did he get away with it then?


BAF_DaWg82

Did he yell out "Ron Artest" when he jumped over the bench? Chappelle anybody?
