Kind of goes against the whole... do not judge... doesn't it?
So no, of course not.

It is reported that he broke one up, saying "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

From what I can tell, he sided with ordinary folk (the laity class) and was outspoken against the Pharisees (ruling religious clergy class) and their Sanhedrin (Governing Body).
He came not to judge our iniquities but to pay a ransom price to secure a legal victory over religion/ists and to release those captive to them.
(John 3:17-18) . . .For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him. He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the name of the only-begotten Son of God.
(Matt 23 esp v15. Also search wt lib, NWT, book of John, for the word/s expel*)

He was the victim of one, and was sent to his death by the committee. Things are still the same today, with the judicial committee sending people to their spiritual death.

What? Jesus participating in judicial committee hearings? No.
Paul started that years later after his self-proclaimed enlightenment. -

Now that's a funny concept! If he had, Peter would've been the first one kicked out.
