ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Embattled City Court Judge Leticia Astacio's 12-point appeal to overturn her sentence of probation came to a conclusion Friday.

Ontario Court Judge William Kocher ruled she did violate the terms of her conditional discharge on a DWI conviction last year.

He did, however, modify one condition of her probation to eliminate the provision that she pay for the SCRAM bracelet.

Earlier in the week, another judge denied her motion to vacate her original conviction in August 2016.

In November 2017, Astacio pleaded guilty to a probation violation for failing to pay for and wear the alcohol monitoring bracelet. When asked why, she said, “Who doesn’t plead guilty to get out of jail? Jail sucks.”

Astacio agreed to plead guilty to one of her violations – admitting to using foot cream that had alcohol in it — in exchange for a sentence of time served. 

Prior to that, Astacio was accused of going to Del Lago Resort and Casino in Seneca County, two counties away, in September 2017, without giving her probation officer proper notification.

In frequent appearances in and outside court, stemming back months, Astacio made comments which include:

Astacio has received counsel from Field and three other lawyers. Well-known DWI attorney Ed Fiandach, the first, was taken aback at the amount of attention the case received, before Astacio fired him from her jail cell. He was replaced by Mark Young and then by New York City-based Greg Salmon, who was granted a request to get taken off the case.

Astacio is still collecting a $174,000 per year salary. Only the state Judicial Conduct Commission can remove a judge or remove their salary.

Her case has and continues to garner extensive media attention and public interest, with Astacio herself thanking supporters through social media and telling reporters that her critics are not her constituents and live outside of the City of Rochester.
