I have never seen or heard of someone leaping over the court bench to attack a judge. Perhaps violence is rising absolutely everywhere. The Judge was OK and was not hospitalized after the attack. The courtroom marshal was injured and was hospitalized for treatment of a bleeding gash on his forehead and a dislocated shoulder. The defendant, Deobra Delone Redden, 30, was wrestled to the floor behind the judge’s bench by several court and jail officers and courtroom staff members — including some who are seen throwing punches. Quite a spectacle. I guess he has an anger problem. If this were in California, the Judge would be charged for handing out a racially induced sentence.
