John West originally faced 7 charges. He now faces one. He, along with two other men, were accused of taking three original Ramon Santiago paintings from McCoy's Frame Shop in Webster.


The now deceased Santiago was from Rochester. He garnered worldwide acclaim for his art. The paintings were taken from the frame shop in broad daylight. They were later recovered at a mini storage in Penfield.


West will be sentenced in September.
