"Let's take a minute and see if he can calm down a minute and we'll come back," -Judge Lubeck
WEST JORDAN, Utah (ABC 4 News) - Cody Reece decided to get physical in court when a prosecutor accused him of changing his story.  

He shot and beat a wife and mother with the butt of a gun killing her in cold blood.  

Here is the transcript from inside the courtroom leading up to the scuffle:

Prosecutor:  An absolutely senseless act.  The defendant on the stand at trial told a story.  A story that changed several times. 

Reece: It never changed over time.

(an audible struggle of about 12 seconds follows)

Judge Lubeck:  Let's take a minute and see if he can calm down a minute and we'll come back.

Reece was subdued before the Judge handed down the sentence of life without parole.
