Just exactly how I pictured her. A dumb ditsy girl now broad. Still acting like an 18 year with a new iPhone.

OKLAHOMA CITY—An Oklahoma judge agreed to step down Friday after she was caught sending hundreds of texts from the bench while overseeing a murder trial in the killing of a 2-year-old boy, including messages that mocked prosecutors and were sprinkled with emojis.
District Judge Traci Soderstrom also agreed to not seek judicial office again in Oklahoma under a proposed settlement agreement filed with the Oklahoma Court on the Judiciary. She had faced removal from the bench over accusations that included gross neglect of duty, oppression in office, lack of proper temperament, and failure to supervise her office.
Judge Soderstrom had been scheduled to go on trial in a special court starting Monday.

The judge’s texts during Mr. Martzall’s trial on a charge of killing his girlfriend’s 2-year-old son included saying the prosecutor was “sweating through his coat,” according to Justice Kane’s petition. The texts described the defense attorney as “awesome” and asked “can I clap for her?” during the defense attorney’s opening arguments. In all, Judge Soderstrom sent more than 500 texts to her bailiff.

The defendant may have certainly been guilty and I'm glad he received some punishment. However, everyone is entitled to a fair trial (except Trump of course), and this defendant was not afforded his Constitutional rights. The judge was not paying attention properly to the testimony and it was her duty to do so.

Oklahoma Judge Who Sent More Than 500 Texts During Murder Trial Resigns
Texting is an addiction.
Her baliff???
I think there is more than a texting relationship going on here.
Just exactly how I pictured her. A dumb ditsy girl now broad. Still acting like an 18 year with a new iPhone.
When I saw the headline, I knew it was a female.
We told a lot of Okie jokes when I lived in Amarillo
Why do birds fly upside over Oklahoma?
It ain’t worth sh*tting on
When you pull over to the roadside in Oklahoma, the cows back up to the fence
Of course, the Okies told similar jokes about us
The game wardens on Lake Texoma pulled Texas boats over if they were on the Oklahoma side of the lake. Had more than one person tell me they would drop a fish hook in your boat and write you a ticket for fishing without a license. I got one when I was watching my friends fish (I was a good way up the bank, but not fishing as I got sick) and the game warden still gave me a ticket.
“...sent more than 500 texts to her bailiff....”
Never shit where you eat.
Court Judges are often those who can’t cut it in a practice.
Court system budget shows chainsaw crew and remodeling company had to widen the courthouse doors when she was first scheduled to preside. And “Please Observe Single File Rules” signs in hallways.
“ Mr. Martzall was eventually convicted of second-degree manslaughter and sentenced to time served.”
Mark Twain once said “It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubts.”
She seems more like an uncaring “Karen” rather than a DEI hire. In any case, a mistrial should have been called and the prosecution AND bench should be heavily sanctioned.
Her bailiff? What’s going on there? Sounds pretty cozy.
D not mentioned so she must be one.
But she is white so the pic had to go along with the story.
Lucky Mr. Maerzall. He’ll have his conviction overturned and will get a new trial.
Did you hear about the Texas Aggie who moved to Oklahoma?
Yeah. He raised the IQ level in both states.
She used to be a babe.
15 years and 40 pounds ago.
A judge is just a lawyer with too much power.
