Judge, Jury, and Executioner

A commonly used idiom that refers to someone who takes on all three roles in a situation. This person not only makes decisions about guilt or innocence but also carries out the punishment themselves.
Jake: Listen here, Emma. I’m your counselor, therapist, personal shopper, life coach, and if need be, your Judge, Jury, and Executioner

Emma: Uhh... did you just say 'executioner' and 'therapist' in the same sentence?

Jake: I like to cover all bases. Keeps things interesting
