OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A new Oklahoma judge could lose her job for sending more than 500 texts to her bailiff during a murder trial, including messages mocking the prosecutor, praising the defense attorney and calling a key witness a liar.
The chief justice of the Oklahoma Supreme Court recommended the removal of Lincoln County District Judge Traci Soderstrom in a court filing Tuesday following an investigation by the state's Council on Judicial Complaints.
I work in a quasi-judicial process. I often have opinions about attorneys, witnesses, complainants, and respondents. I would never be stupid enough to put them in a text message.
As long as there aren't 500 texts sent during my root canal
Hearing of this judicial texting tandem makes me think of SNL's "Maine Justice" skit. The judge played by Jason Sudeikis liked to tag-team taunt his defendants.
Sounds like prosecution should've come up with a more compelling argument

I can't believe another person has seen this skit and remembers it as fondly as I do.
