DERBY — Defense lawyer Rob Serafinowicz will ask Superior Court Judge Burton A. Kaplan to recuse himself today in a case brought against former Derby Middle School administrator William A. LaRovera, saying Kaplan has “had a problem with me.”
The action is “extremely rare,” according to longtime defense lawyer Edmund Q. Collier.
LaRovera faces felony drug charges brought by city police.
LaRovera, the school’s former dean of student development, has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to appear today seeking admittance into the accelerated rehabilitation and the community service labor program.
