He has not been seen publicly for nearly a decade after allegedly going on a week-long bloody crime spree across Los Angeles , which left two actors with life-changing injuries.
But this week, Redmond O'Neal - the only son of legendary actors Ryan O'Neal and Farrah Fawcett - finally appeared in court after his May 2018 arrest, having been deemed mentally competent to face trial.
The 41-year-old looked much heavier-set than when he was detained eight years ago, when he was gaunt, thin and in the throes of drug addiction.
He also had new devil horns tattooed on his forehead, adding to a pre-existing face tattoo with numbers meaning he is a 'danger to others'. New ink on his left hand also read, 'F*** life.'
At his preliminary hearing on Tuesday at a Los Angeles court, the judge heard graphic details of how O'Neal allegedly attacked a gay actor at random, smashing him in the face with a glass bottle and beating him to a pulp.
The actor required facial reconstruction surgery and said he can no longer work because of the trauma.
O'Neal is also accused of stabbing another actor in the head and other parts of his body at least five times, causing traumatic brain injury. He testified he now has epilepsy because of his injuries.
He is facing one count of felony attempted murder, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon and second-degree robbery, for the alleged knifepoint robbery of a 7-Eleven convenience store. If convicted on the attempted murder charge, he faces life in prison.
Redmond O'Neal, 41, is seen at the LA Airport courthouse where he was arraigned on Tuesday on a second amended criminal complaint in connection to an alleged crime spree in May 2018
O'Neal entered the courtroom in shackles

He was brought into the courtroom with shackles on his hands and ankles and chains around his waist.
He remained quiet as his defense attorney, Dana Cole, entered a not guilty plea for him during Tuesday's preliminary hearing.
O'Neal looked markedly different from his 2018 mugshot, which showed him skinnier and with bloody bruises on his right cheek and left earlobe.
On Tuesday, he sported new tattoos, including the horns on his left and right temples.
His left cheek still bore the '5250' tattoo - the California penal code for involuntary detention for suspects deemed a danger to themself or others.
He kept his head down and scowled entering the courtroom, but his face lit up when he noticed his godmother, Mela Murphy, in the gallery.
He flashed her a quick smile, nodded, and mouthed, 'Hi,' as she smiled back and wiped tears from her eyes.
Murphy, Fawcett's former hairdresser and a close friend of the actress for decades, is now O'Neal's court-appointed conservator.
She told the Daily Mail her godson has been 'doing better' at Patton State Hospital, and she still hopes the case could be settled, allowing him to be released under strict supervision with time served.
'If you look at him now and you speak to him now, he has his mother's personality,' Murphy said. 'He has his mother's kindness, her goodness.
