Rochester City Court Judge Leticia Astacio’s boss confirms the judge hasn’t shown up at work since the end of August.
Administrative Judge Craig Doran assigned Astacio to handle legal work that would fill her time but not put her on the bench during the controversy over her DWI conviction and their aftermath. He says Judge Astacio has not asked for time off but hasn’t been at work this month.
Astacio is currently waiting on a court hearing into allegations that she violated the conditions of her probation by drinking alcohol over the summer. The hearing was supposed to be today but has been pushed back to next month.
