MODERATORS
How can the judge who has been attached not be disqualified from ruling in that case?
She's not ruling on her own assault, she's finishing the original sentencing which was interrupted when he launched at her.
So her decision on sentencing was already decided, she just never got to announce what it was. His subsequent behavior proves that sentencing is the correct course of action.
Edit As expected:
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/08/us/las-vegas-judge-attacker-sentenced.html
"sentenced the man on Monday to 19 to 48 months in prison on a previous battery charge, emphasizing that his actions last week did not affect her sentencing decision."
and:
"On Monday, Mr. Redden returned to Judge Holthus’s courtroom to complete the sentencing hearing that his violent outburst had interrupted."
and:
"Judge Holthus emphasized that Mr. Redden was being sentenced solely on an April 2023 battery charge, to which he had previously pleaded guilty. She said any charges related to his attack last week would be handled by a different judge.
“For purposes of the record,” Judge Holthus said, “I want to make it clear that I am not changing or modifying the sentence I was in the process of imposing last week before I was interrupted by defendant’s actions.”"
Ahh... I thought she would rule on his subsequent assault charge
Too soon, it just happened. He still needs to get through being charged with it.
Keep in mind, the assault he was about to be charged with was from last August or something. That's how slow it moves.
