A per diem Spanish-language interpreter for the state court system has pleaded innocent to charges that she revealed information about the confidential grand jury testimony of two witnesses and then lied about the disclosures. Nancy Rodriguez Walker, 48, entered the plea on Feb. 15 before Onondaga County Court Judge Thomas Miller in Syracuse to two counts of unlawful grand jury disclosure and four counts of first-degree perjury. She was released on her own recognizance.
