Late last week, KFOR filed a quick update on Traci Soderstrom – the Lincoln county judge who became national news fodder after it was revealed she spent a murder trial scrolling through Facebook, sharing GIFs, and texting her bailiff about DA Adam Panter’s small penis.
After the texting news became public, Oklahoma Supreme Court Justice John Kane filed a lengthy petition claiming the details surrounding that case – as well as other incidents like when she forced male attorneys to pose for photos in pink chairs – as proof that Soderstrom’s unfit to be a judge.
I guess Soderstrom finally got around to filing a response to that petition. 95% of it was her complaining about not having the investigative case file, and as a result, not being able to respond to the claims.
She did, however, address how video of her doom-scrolling through social media apps and texting about the size of a man’s genitalia during a murder trial got leaked to the press.
She essentially claims the footage from her courtroom was obtained by the sheriff under false pretenses and then handed over to the DA, who leaked it to Nolan Clay at The Oklahoman.
Basically, her defense is she would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those meddling cops and their stupid DA with the small penis:
