Video footage captured the frightening moment when Redden, who was being sentenced for aggravated assault with substantial bodily injury, jumped from his position and lunged at the judge’s bench to attack her. As he advanced on the surprised judge, Redden was heard shouting offensive words.
The bailiff, present at the hearing, tried to intervene, but Redden attacked him as well, causing injuries to both. During the attack, Judge Holthus can be heard pleading for the criminal to stop and get off her.
The injuries suffered by Judge Holthus are being monitored, while the injured bailiff had to be taken to the hospital after the brutal attack.
