Typically, Judges do NOT 'give testimony', even though their comments during the proceedings can seem as if it is 'testimony'. Judges, though, do bring their opinion and experience to administering the law. If Judges overstep the boundaries governing their courtroom behavior, either side can appeal or bring up Judicial charges against him.
NOTE: Always contact an attorney in your local area to confirm the Laws in your State and jurisdiction and to obtain legal advice.
