Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio will get her writ of habeas corpus hearing.
Her attorney, Gregory Salmon, filed for the hearing last week. His writ was granted and he says it will be heard in court on Thursday, November 2nd. During that hearing, Salmon says he’ll be asking for Judge Astacio’s release from jail and the termination of her probation.
The judge was put on probation after her conviction on a drunken driving charge early this year. She was sent to jail last week after being arraigned on several charges of violating probation, including by drinking alcohol and making unauthorized visits to the del Lago Resort and Casino. She spent a month in jail on earlier violation charges in July.
