You hate to second judge another cop

This one was heard on the episode “In Broad Daylight”: “You hate to second judge another cop, but there were mistakes made.” This is a mix of “second guess” (predict what someone will do before it is known) and “judge” – not really a mix of two idioms but more like a word blend than a malaprop. A tip of the hat to Laszlo Veres for hearing this one and sending it in!
