The attorney for embattled Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio has been subpoenaed to testify against his own client.
Ed Fiandach represents Judge Astacio in her hearing this afternoon on whether or not she violated the terms of her DWI sentence by missing a court-ordered urine test. The judge was in Thailand when the court order was issued and Fiandach says she didn’t get the message. She left without notifying the court and had planned to stay in Thailand until August.
That so angered Judge Stephen Aronson that he issued a warrant for her arrest, and she was taken into custody when she returned.
