If the evidence is not admissible, then it should not be considered, period.
As an example of a judge taking it on himself to "do the right thing", U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan tried to conjure up some way to continue the prosecution of General Michael Flynn by appointing a special counsel after the US District Attorney had moved to dismiss the case.
