You're right. I've had a dig too, and although there are comments (presumably relating back to the Robing Room posts) accusing her of a tendency to pre-judge cases, I can't see anything that does support the idea that she wrote the bulk of her judgement before the trial.
What we do see is articles like this:

The first 122 pages of the 160-page ruling against Apple that U.S. District Judge Denise Cote handed down on Wednesday could have been written before the trial began.
In fact, most of them probably were.

This, as you say, isn't evidence that the judgement was mostly pre-written.
It seems to have been an impression built up by repeated assertion last year here on MobileRead.
My apologies.
