To condemn him, to the scale of guilt

Judged him and found him guilty in the judgment. Figuratively: interpreted or explained his behavior as a fault. Invalidated his actions.

(She said to him (Hannah to Eli): You are not lord in this matter, and the Holy Spirit is not upon you, that you should suspect me in this matter... that you have judged me to the scale of guilt and not to the scale of innocence, who does not know that I am a woman of hard spirit? And I have not drunk wine or strong drink - Berakhot 70b. And likewise: And men who judge every man to the scale of guilt, and always investigate the faults of men, they are from the perspective of the end of all flesh - Rabbi Nachman of Breslov / Likutei Moharan, Torah 38, 2. And also: Yehuda Hai answered: I want to be rebuked but I am afraid. I fear lest I be judged to the scale of guilt - Y. Burla / Kisufim 62. And likewise: He did not judge her to the scale of guilt. She was hungry for bread... at last she was just a simple maiden - Agnon / Al Kapot HaManu'al, Giv'at HaChol, 301. And also: Do not judge to the scale of guilt, I say to him! Do not judge to the scale of guilt! Who judges to the scale of guilt? Rashash Shimon - H. Hazaz / Ir U'Bahalot, 157.)
