Ruling: Judge Astacio did not violate conditions related to her DWI conviction

Spectrum News

A judge ruled on Monday that Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio did not violate terms of her sentence related to her DWI conviction last year.

Ontario County Judge Stephon Aronson has been presiding over the bench trial because of Astacio’s position as a city judge.

On Monday, Aronson ruled there was a lack of evidence to prove Astacio was drinking at a Thanksgiving party  and also at a local restaurant.

The judge also dismissed an allegation that the judge circumvented her interlock device on her car  by having others blow into it.

Astacio is no longer hearing cases, but continues to collect her $173,000 salary.
