This SOB has skills

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.

Nevada judge attacked by defendant during sentencing in Vegas courtroom scene

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 forking judge.

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)).
