Nor does it indicate that she had made up her mind.
I often write reports or documentation as I go along, it helps to keep the facts straight and it saves time. Edits are made as required. Only the final version matters.
If a lot of what she wrote made it into the final judgement then it could simply mean that her reasoning was not swayed by any further arguments presented during the trial.
