There’s a saying that justice is blind. That most definitely wasn’t the case in one Oklahoma courtroom. In a story that begins last year, former judge, Traci Soderstrom, allegedly texted not once, not twice, but more than 500 times during the course of a felony trial related to the death of a two-year-old. When disciplinary charges were filed against her, she did everything she could to stay on the bench, a bench she’d won approximately one year earlier. After close to half a year of controversy and fact-finding, everything came to a rather unexpected and unsatisfying end when she resigned, claiming she didn’t believe she’d get a fair trial. Too bad she didn’t consider the effect her own actions would have on the criminal trial she was supposed to be the fair and impartial judge for.
