I was a bit confused how a Judge would just decide to start investigating some additional matter that is not formally before them to decide.
How do judges normally treat destruction of evidence? Do they not care who committed the crime and just make a ruling on how to infer it? I feel like the court would want to know who has committed something as serious as this but I'm not sure of the actual process for it.
Don't worry about it. He'll totally deal with it outside his formal judicial capacity, after letting them off with a slap on the wrist... "in his own time" like some Hollywood renegade judge!
Like a republican Karen, he's going to talk to a manager.
"Do you know who I am??"
All bark, no bite on the hand that will feed him after he leaves the bench (Big Capital/Big Law). See:
