Judge Just Hauled Out Of Her Own Courtroom After Jury Notices SICK Thing She Was Secretly Doing

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.
