That sounds like Judge Cote in the Amazon vs. Apple e-book trial.  She was
quoted long before the trial actually began as saying that she felt it was
pretty clear-cut that Apple was guilty and they were going to lose.

Thing is, she was also the one who got to appoint one of her buddies, a guy
with ZERO anti-trust experience, as the court-appointed monitor and gave
him pretty much free reign to charge whatever he felt and dig into whatever
he wanted.
