There once was a time where judges were treated with great respect
The idea of attacking a judge in his or her courtroom would
be too far fetched
Today a black robe and deputies on duty in a courtroom
Are not shields when a disappointed felon does not get probation
and revenge desires zoom
Deobra Redden, a 3 felon career criminal with multiple arrests,
was in court to be sentenced on a plea bargain guilty plea
Charged originally with assault with a baseball bat reduced
to attempted battery with substantial injuries
Must have thought he would probation only receive
Be able to walk out and being more careful continued criminal activity achieve
Despite his lawyer’s request to Judge Holthus for probation
to which the Judge having read his record said “no”
Unshackled and uncuffed, Redden in a rage flying over the
barrier jumping on the judge would go
Before he could be pulled off by her clerk and deputy he had
pulled out some of her hair
Her clerk and deputy were injured before Redden’s attack they quickly impaired
Days later to be sentenced on his plea he appeared before Judge Holthus again
Shackled and chained barely able to move sentenced to 19 months
to 4 years in the state pen
He will face charges of assaulting the judge and her court personnel
Judge Holthus will not be on the bench but whoever is will send him for a long
time to a prison cell
