[Dredd Film 2012] Did Judge Dredd know the detonator wouldn't go off?

In the 2012 film Dredd did Judge Dredd know that the detonator on Ma-Ma's wrist would not have enough range to blow up the Block or did he take the gamble when he threw her out the window?

Nope. Didn't have a clue. He didn't exactly have many options, though.

If he tried to take her into custody, it would have been impossible to transport one of the biggest drug lords in Mega City 1 to  the Halls of Justice. Even worse, she'd probably try to off herself out of spite. 

If he killed her stone dead, he was definitely not walking away from it. 

His only real option was to get her out of range or interfere with the signal as quickly as he could, and gravity presented the fastest facilitator. He gambled on it being enough.
