I liked the revelation of a prior relationship between Travis and Castillo. That makes the rivalry between the two much more personal. Adding a new dimension to the story.

I wonder does the judge in this case know of the Past history between Travis and Castillo?

Glad you enjoyed it. Making it personal is required to motivate the depths of animosity that will ultimately drive each of them.

The judge doesn't know. We'll see later that President Buchmann has some inkling of what went on.

For obvious reasons, each has had a strong motivation NOT to disclose the prior relationship. Only people who were close friends, like President Buchmann, have any inkling of the relationship, and only Travis and Castillo know exactly what happened. And as we shall ultimately see, even they both have drastically different interpretations of the same underlying events.
