    “Facing scrutiny” = nothing will happen. We have such shite accountability for our judges yet, it’s completely unsurprising in (checks the decade), 2023.

    Security video obtained by The Oklahoman shows Lincoln County District Judge Traci Soderstrom texting or messaging for minutes at a time during jury selection, opening statements and testimony in the trial for a man in the death of his girlfriend’s son. At one point, Soderstrom searched for a GIF, an animated image.
