Felon who attacked judge in court in wild viral video is facing her again today

The defendant and Las Vegas judge will come face-to-face again today for the first time since the attack

A felon who was caught on camera attacking a Las Vegas judge will come face-to-face with her again today.

Last week, a video went viral of defendant Deobra Delone Redden powering his way across a courtroom at the Regional Justice Center in Las Vegas and hurling himself at Judge Mary Kay Holthus.

Unsurprisingly, the felon now faces further charges than he did when he first entered the courtroom to face Judge Holthus and he's set to reunite with her today (January 8).

Warning: Scenes of violence:

When he first came in front of Judge Holthus on Wednesday (January 3), Redden's attorney requested the judge treat him with leniency and only sentence him to probation - with Redden calling himself a 'person who never stops trying to do the right thing no matter how hard it is'.

Alas, despite his words, as a result of Redden's prior offenses, Judge Holthus denied the request and before she was even able to read out the sentence, chaos ensued.

A recording - which quickly became widespread online - shows Redden barreling towards Judge Holthus before 'superman[ning] over the judicial bench' and on top of her, shouting: "Nah, f**k that b***h."

Officers and court officials quickly rushed over to restrain the felon, however, not before he had time to allegedly hit Judge Holthus' head against the wall, hit her once in the head himself and pull out some of her hair, court documents state.

A court marshal and law clerk were also reportedly injured in the altercation and now Redden faces even more charges.

Numerous court officials and officers got involved in the altercation.

Redden was jailed on $54,000 bail in connection with the attack. He was taken to a holding cell near the courtroom right after the incident where he told an officer the judge 'has it out for [him]' and is 'evil'.

He now faces additional charges including battery on a protected person.

Judge Holthus suffered some injuries but she was not hospitalized, and returned to work the next day.

When Redden re-enters the courtroom today he'll face Judge Holthus for the first time since he attacked her.

Redden will be sentenced for the charge of attempted battery resulting in substantial injuries - which he pleaded guilty to in November after striking a deal with prosecutors to have it reduced from a charge of assault.

Tomorrow (January 9), he will face the additional charges which have resulted from his attack on Judge Holthus.
