the judges innocence can be preserved

[Petrushka]

Пожалуйста, помогите перевести.

Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:
I worry about Jerry's new social worker, and it's a suprise when he replies.
Dear Lola,
Yep, you're right. I met him before and he's uncompromising, to say the least. Burn this letter. Though I did like him. I reckon if I pick on him enough, I can keep him on the dry for a while at least, and who knows - hope springs eternal in the human breast...Short term, though, do you know what judge he'll be up against? And if so, do you think, the judge's innocence can be preserved?

Заранее спасибо
