If Allen had not been stopped he might have killed President Trump, Mrs. Trump, several Cabinet officers, and possibly VP Vance.

Looks like the judge is trying to create a justification for releasing Allen. After all, he didn't kill anyone.

Allen will never be convicted by a DC jury. Attempting to kill the president is considered a mitigating circumstance by most of the DC juror pool.
