Probably. It would depend on exactly what was said. If the Judge used the word "probably" or said something like "unless I see some other evidence", it may not be totally inappropriate.

If you feel a Judge has done something wrong, you can file a complaint with the Judiciary Commission, whose job it is to oversee Judges' conduct on the bench. I beleive they have a web site of their own. If not, you can contact the Judicial Administrator's office in the Louisiana Supreme Court.
