Of course the judges know this. In fact, ALL documents can be faked. The perpetrator here affirmed (probably) under OATH that the document was true and correct, and not faked. Additionally, he may have fabricated other evidence to support the texts. As such, he got away with it. Now that this is out, however, not only can he suffer criminal, contempt, and civil charges. But he will forever be labeled as a forger and NO documents of his will be usable in court if the other side contests them.
