It's really interesting that cameras are installed to watch the judges. Probably needs to be standard in every courtroom.
Needs to go on a diet.😮
I’d like to know the relationship with the bailiff. Generally flirty? Was she trying to attract him? What a fool.
RESIGNS? She should be FIRED & DISBARRED!
THE FACT NBC DIDN'T MENTION HER POLITICAL PARTY FIRST THING MEANS ONE THING ONLY. DEMOCRAT !
I can understand the legal profession can be boring, but she chose it.
"Mistakes were made."
Disgusting
This is not rare. Many judges are busy on their phones instead of paying attention. She just got caught. Good riddance! Now she should closely examine how she looks on the mirror before judging other people's appearances.
Social media will always play a role in the degradation of humanity
Gahhhh, she sooooo gross
No to ANY GOVERNMENT POSITIONS, NO COUNTY, NO CITY, NO FEDERAL. She can't even recognize her flawed justice. EVERY ONE of her cases need to be looked into for her bias.
She is newly qualified?? It's not like she had chance to be complacent after being in the role a long time. You can learn academically to qualify, but can't teach professionalism. It's do disrespectful for all in the courtroom and the 2 year old victim.
Absolutely shameful. And there's plenty more just like her in positions of authority who then get to decide the fate of someone's life. The system is broken.
How ridiculous and unprofessional- Do Better, Oklahoma.
Makes me very angry, ashamed, and sad. We deserve better
How does someone like this becomes a judge she’s literally an air head.
How many other people has she done this too. All the texting just shows her mind was made up
How disgusting and on a trial of the murder of a toddler!!
There were some things that you got caught for, there are way more things.
She brings shame to the profession
Shes no different than any other judge, they just hide it.
ABSOLUTELY UNPROFESSIONAL
I guess nobody paid her enough for her attention😂😅 In my county you gotta pay 20 grand to get out of DWI so I guess that's our price here to get the judge attention. Justice isn't blind is just how much you put on a scale
Girls will be girls!
Go to jail and retry the cases. She's terrible!
Ur on-R iz 2 fun-E
What a woke joke this judge was 😂😂
She's everything wrong with the American Law
She needs to face jail time. No jail time and someone else will do the same.
That's weird af
She’s disgusting, should be in jail
Just think ! There are people who still believe that the Judicial system is fair and impartial ? Question to ALL of YOU ? Do you think this Judge is the ONLY Judicial employee behaving this way ? 😢.
She would be in jail.
Are we certain Soderstrom’s real name isn’t Judge Aileen Cannon🤔 #TeleviseALLTrumpTrials
How in the wide wide world of sports did she ever become a judge. Virually no self awareness.
Yes, she's a real bathing beauty.
If it is horrible, it is more than likely Republican. She can run for Stitt's position; they're of the same caliber.
Lawlessness at its finest
It amazes me that someone with such emotional immaturity could be elected or appointed as a judge.
This person no more looks like a judge than a dog in a suit
Everything out of her mouth a lie
LET HER BE AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHER JUDGES NOT TO FOLLOW! 🤣🤣🤣
No worries about all the sham justice in this world there’s a higher Judge that sits enthroned forever; He has established his throne for justice, and judges the world with righteousness; He judges the peoples with uprightness.
She got nerve commenting on someone’s appearance. Has she never seen a mirror? 🤨
How unprofessional can you be..
