He wanted to kill the judge

Reddin appeared before Holthus last Wednesday, where the judge refused to issue a suspended sentence to Reddin due to his violent past.

“It's time for you to taste something else, I can't with the history you have,” the judge said before Redden threw himself over the bench at her.
