Judge recorded on Facebook, texting while presiding over trial for 2-year-old's death


CHANDLER, Oklahoma — The new judge’s first murder trial was a wrenching one — involving the fatal beating of a 2-year-old boy.

Prosecutors alleged Braxton Danker, who died on Mother’s Day in 2018, had been treated like a punching bag.

At the trial’s start last month, Lincoln County (Oklahoma) District Judge Traci Soderstrom told the jury to power off or place in airplane mode all electronic devices.
