This SOB has skills

Jumped up and over the judge's dais, probably with a minimal running start, with air between him and the top surface and brought down the judge and the flagpole. Pretty good form on the diving tackle

I see this was posted on the politics thread but I think it deserves one by itself. I shall let higher-ups decide.

He should try out for the Raiders. They can use someone like that on defense.

Lots of people cracking wise on this and I get it, but Micro Jr. is a district court judge's clerk in Denver dealing with criminal (not civil) cases and this kind of **** scares me. You shouldn't have to be worry about this kind of stuff in a court of law.

Also while diving over, he grabbed her head with his left hand as she was ducking and got in a punch or three. Dude was seriously pissed that she was going to send him away.

Obviously, it didn't stay there.

Probably doesn't ease a parent's worry, but I have spent a lot of time in criminal court - including several years as a hearing monkey/prosecutor in a busy, urban, misdemeanor/low level felony courtroom where we were in court 6+ hours a day, every day. There are few places I've generally felt safer given the constant presence of armed bailiffs and the security checkpoints coming in.

I've heard lots of threats - including some targeted at me - but have never actually seen someone get assaulted in the courtroom. I know it occasionally happens, but it's rare.

What do you figure this guy gets charged with now? And what kind of time will he do? I have to assume it’s a lot if you physically assault a ****ing judge.

The defendant, Deobra Delone Redden, was jailed on $54,000 bail and refused to return to court on Thursday on new charges, so a judge rescheduled his next appearance for Jan. 9. Redden, 30, faces 13 counts including extortion and coercion with force. Seven of the new counts are battery on a protected person, referring to the judge and officers who came to her aid.

...

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson said the suspect's criminal record is marked by mostly violent offenses and includes prior convictions for three felonies and nine misdemeanors. He said Redden should be held without bail as “an extreme danger to the community and a flight risk.”

“He's been violent his entire adult life,” Wolfson said.

There's too much variance in assault laws by state and I don't know Nevada's rules. I expect he'll get hammered with whatever max charges and sentence are available.

Here, it would depend on how badly the judge was injured. If she wasn't seriously injured he'd be looking at three primary charges - assault on a government official, habitual misdemeanor assault and obstruction of justice. The latter two are low level felonies that would result in 18 to 36 months each (depending on his prior record) each and could be set to run back-to-back after the sentence the judge was giving him the other day. So realistically, here, it would add 3 to 6 years to his sentence.

The fact that it's all on video and was against court officials will mean very little room to plea bargain of any sort.

Punishment for a Battery by a Prisoner or Probationer without Use of a Deadly Weapon
When a person commits a battery against a protected person while he is in lawful custody but does not use a deadly weapon, he will be charged with a category B felony and will be facing a potential punishment of a minimum prison term of 2 years and maximum term of 10 years. It does not matter here whether the battery involved strangulation or resulted in substantial bodily harm (N.R.S. 200.481.2(f)).
