Without additional context of the judges statement (or, better, either the actual filings in the case), that's far from clear.
It's not impossible or even uncommon for a defendant in a case to make an argument in the style of “I didn't take it, and, even if I had, I had permission to take it.”
You can't infer the nonexistence of the first part of the claim from the existence of the second.
