Deobra then yells “Fuck that, bitch!!” and runs up to the judge, jumps over the desk and pounces on her like a lion catches prey.
The suspect punches the judge multiple times and strangles her. Court security tries to pull Deobra off the judge, even the judge’s clerk jumps in the fight to pull the suspect off.
