The phone addiction isn't only with teenagers.

quote:

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — 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.

FILE - In this image from security camera video, Lincoln County District Judge Traci Soderstrom looks at her cellphone during a murder trial.

quote:

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.

Soderstrom had been scheduled to go on trial in a special court starting Monday.


quote:

“I promised to uphold the Constitution in a fair, even-handed and efficient manner,” Soderstrom said in a resignation letter given to local media. “I believe that I have done so. However, being human, I have also faltered.”

Wonder who she was busy texting.

Tons of judges have done far worse and are still on the bench. But yea, she needs to go.

She'd have kept her job if she'd have confessed like this master.

Was there a BR councilwoman who was caught shopping on amazon during meetings? It might not have been in BR but it happened somewhere. That's pretty sad if you can't stay away from texting or shopping long enough to do your job.

My 73-year-old Mom can't stay off her phone if you aren't actively engaging with her for like 10 secs. Parents visited this past weekend and every single time my Dad and I would start talking about something that wasn't interesting for her she would start looking at her phone. Half the time she would just start watching Netflix with no headphones and the sound on. Just mindblowing for me.

This is how we know SFP will never be a judge. He'd be posting on TD during a trial more than this judge was texting.
