LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Deobra Delone Redden, the man who lept over a judge's bench and attacked her, is appealing his sentence to the Nevada Supreme Court.

In December 2024, Redden, 31, was sentenced by District Court Judge Susan Johnson to a span of 26 years at the minimum and 65 years maximum custody for the six charges to which he pleaded guilty.

Redden was given the chance to address the court, repeating that he is, "not a bad guy, not an evil person," and he didn't understand why his character was being attacked.
