It's the video evidence from a courtroom camera. Authorities say captures former Judge Tracey Soderstrom on her phone mid-murder trial, texting and scrolling social media.

There were some things that I did inappropriately.

That admission coming Thursday after Soderstrom announced her resignation, following an investigation accusing her of gross neglective duty and partiality in office. A judicial conduct complaint against Soderstrom states over the course of a murder trial involving the death of a two-year cold, the newly elected judge texted her bailiff more than 500 times, mocking the physical appearance of attorneys, jurors, and witnesses.

I texted during a trial, and that was inappropriate. The content I I am not agreeing to because it doesn't matter.

But the complaint cites messages that allegedly show Saterström was no longer impartial. At one point, Saterström calling a prosecutor Gross and a horrible speaker, while praising the defense attorney, texting her bailiff, Can I clap for her? During testimony, texting the state, just couldn't accept that a mom could kill her kid, so they went after the next person available, adding, Can I please scream, Liar, liar. Evidence Saterström still denies played a role during the trial.

I didn't make up my mind. Even if I had, it wouldn't have mattered because I was not the fact finder.

Mid-trial comments went further. Saderstrom allegedly calling a testifying officer, Pretty, saying she look at him all day. Authorities tell NBC News the bailiff is no longer a county employee. Meanwhile, Soderström has agreed to never seek any state judicial position ever again. Morgan Chesky, NBC News.
