We hope that Judge Mary Kay Holthus is doing okay after what had to be an absolutely terrifying encounter with her assailant, who was about to be sentenced after pleading guilty in a prior hearing to aggravated battery with substantial bodily harm.
Now, we don't claim to be legal experts, but we're going to go out on a limb here and suggest that physically attacking a judge who's about to sentence you for aggravated battery is probably not the smartest move in the world.
Seems like she made the right call

It certainly does.
That won’t go well for him.

We can't imagine how it possibly could.
That's not going to help his case...

It remains to be seen what impact it has on this case, but it's a pretty safe bet that his actions have resulted in a whole new case,
Of course. X/Twitter being what it is, there was no shortage of suggestions on a possible alternative career for the defendant:
If he wasn’t going to jail for decades he could be a really good NFL linebacker

Look at that vertical. He could be an amazing third down short yardage or goal line running back.

If we're being honest, it really was an impressive jump. Certainly inadvisable, but impressive nonetheless.
Let's just take a peek at how it worked out for him:
