Yes, it might be possible(although admittedly unusual) provided that the
proper procedures were followed that would have permitted this to occur. (As a general rule, judges are not subject to being subpoenaed as witnesses for obvious reasons, but there are exceptions to this rule which appears to be the situation with the referenced case.)
