The American justice system is a delicate balance of elected and appointed officials, specifically designed to ensure that those accused of crimes get the fair trial that they deserve. Of course, the judges that are elected instead of appointed have the risk of letting it go to their heads that the people love them and they can get away with anything they want. Unlike a lot of other elected officials, they’re also elected for a much longer term than most.
It seems that all of those things came together into a lethal cocktail for one elected judge in Rochester New York where Judge Leticia Astacio has been brought up on charges that include DUI, failure to appear and possibly one about fleeing the country.
Via Conservative Daily Post:“In Rochester New York, Democrat City Court Judge Leticia Astacio was escorted to jail on Thursday after a series of troubling violations. Astacio failed to appear at court the previous week, prompting Judge Stephen Aronson of Canandaigua City Court to issue a bench warrant for her arrest. She was taken into custody on Monday morning.Unfortunately, this isn’t Astacio’s first run-in with the law. Elected in 2014 to a ten-year term, she was arrested by state troopers in 2016 for driving while under the influence. The officers were called to the scene of an accident on Interstate 490 on February 13. Astacio was apparently on her drunken way to criminal court to deliver verdicts when she crashed her car.She refused to take the breathalyzer test the Trooper requested. In New York, the consequences for declining an intoxication test include automatic fines and suspensions. In August that year, Astacio was sentenced to a one-year conditional discharge.However, that penalty was extended to 2018 when she later admitted violating two conditions of the order. Her acknowledged offenses were not abstaining from alcohol during the allotted time and driving under the influence, yet again.Astacio worked as a prosecutor in the Driving While Intoxicated Bureau of the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office for a short time in 2009. After the extended penalties were applied in March, she courted more trouble by attempting to drink and drive on April 29.On that day, the interlock device on her car registered a blood alcohol content of .065 percent, preventing the ignition from starting. When summoned to court for that offense, she claimed that her daughter was the drunkard who registered the reading.Because he wanted confirmation that she was staying clean, Judge Aronson ordered Astacio to submit to a urinalysis. She allegedly declined to take the test, which would detect the by-product of alcohol ethyl glucuronide. Her decision was another violation of the conditions included in the original sentence.
At the time, it was not clear if Astacio received the order. She jaunted off to Thailand for most of the month of May. Aronson summoned her to court again on the following Tuesday, but Astacio didn’t show. She fled the country and claimed she was visiting the monks in a temple. Although she later texted her lawyer to explain why she couldn’t appear in court, the damaged had already been done.Because she was in violation of her sentence, Aronson issued the warrant for her arrest. Astacio returned from overseas last weekend but wasn’t taken into custody immediately.
