By now you have all seen the video of the in-courtroom attack on Judge Mary Kay Holthus. We’ve heard from various sources that, thankfully, neither she nor her marshal (who was hospitalized per the second RJ link below) suffered life threatening injuries. It was impressive to see her marshal, as well as her law clerk Michael Lasso and Chief Deputy District Attorney Jory Scarborough step in to restrain the assailant. We hope all of them recover quickly from this traumatic experience.

What do you think about safety in the courtroom? Do you feel safe? What needs to change, if anything?
