Justice officials criticize plan to cut budget By MAXINE BERNSTEIN Courant Staff Writer Two top state officials Monday blasted the governor's spending plans for the criminal justice and-; judicial divisions, saying they lead to layoffs, delays in prosecu- tions and unmet constitutional and state mandates. "In my 12 years as chief court; administrator, I have not seen a proposed budget that underfunds our programs and services to the degree that this one does," Chief Court Ad- ministrator Judge Aaron Ment told the legislature's budget-writing, committee. Ment, along with Chief State's Attorney John M. Bailey, argued that Rowland's budget would result in severe staff shortages in the state judicial department and the division of criminal justice. Both also warned lawmakers that many, initiatives the legislature has champi oned, such as stronger juvenile jytf; tice programs and the victims' constitutional amendment, would be threatened under Rowland's spending plan.

Of the 2,834 permanent staff Suj thorized for the judicial department for the 1997-98 fiscal year, forexi ample, 15 percent of those 416 positions, are not funded, Mefii said. To meet Rowland's proposed million cut in criminal justice per-, sonnel, Bailey said he has impose an immediate freeze on any ngw hiring of prosecutors, inspectbrsi juvenile justice positions, accoun- tants, clerical staff and investiga ivi. "We will do our best to keep up but I cannot rule out layoffs beginning after July 1, 1997," Bailey said The Rowland administration de' fended the plan, noting that the ju- dicial department's budget woiikl. be increased overall, and the crimi nal justice division would hold! steady. The judicial department would receive $212.8 million the general fund in the next fiscal year, a 14 million increase overthe; department current Duaget, nut also $12 million less than whaf, Ment had requested.

In a statement issued Monday by company spokeswoman Sarah Datz, Rite Aid said: "The $13 million in civil penalties sought by the U.S. attorney's office in Connecticut is remarkably excessive. A similar case was recently settled in West Virginia for $25,000." The company said the concerns expressed by the DEA and the U.S. attorney's office no longer are relevant because the company now has highly effective record-keeping system.

Rite Aid, which is based in Camp Hill, has more than 40 retail pharmacies in Connecticut. The stores named in the suit are at 311 Main Meriden; 80-82 West Danbury; 1302 S.

The stores' records are so bad that they cannot account for thousands of doses of prescription painkillers such as Percocet, plus other controlled substances, the lawsuit says. In a suit filed in federal court here, the U.S.

attorney's office accuses stores in Danbury, Meriden, Stratford and Waterbury of 547 violations of drug laws and seeks the maximum penalty of $25,000 for each violation. U.S. Attorney Christopher F. Droney said the laws ignored by Rite Aid are intended to protect the public from the illegal diversion of controlled substances. A similar suit was filed Monday in New York.

The civil litigation was the result of an investigation by the Drug En Bail denied to suspect in shooting By REBECCA SAUSNER lourant (correspondent DUDLEY, Mass. A 33-year-old man accused of shooting his estranged wife and leaving her on a Harwinton roadside at first would not show his face to the Dudley District Court judge hearing his case Monday. Joseph F. Imprescia was led into a courtroom shackled, and wearing a white printed hospital gown, beige slippers and a sheet cloaking his face. His head bowed, Imprescia refused to uncover his face when ordered by Judge Milton P.

Raphael- son. "I don't want my picture taken, your honor," said a clearly agitated and pleading Imprescia referring to the television news crew in the corner of the courtroom. After several minutes Imprescia finally relented, and pushed the sheet aside. Covering his face with his bandaged right hand and tattooed left forearm, he pleaded not guilty to charges that he is a fugitive from justice in Connecticut and to a slew of motor vehicle charges stemming from the high-speed chase with Massachusetts police Friday. Imprescia is accused of shooting his estranged wife, Debra Imprescia, several times Friday afternoon on Route 4 and fleeing from police in a chase that ended with his capture in Massachusetts.

The judge denied Imprescia bail Monday and continued the case un til March 6. But before the next hearing, Imprescia will appear in worcesier uisinui i.uuu un lues- day on an outstanding warrant for Meriden man killed in Cheshire crash CHESHIRE A Meriden driver was killed and his passenger seriously injured after the car they were in slammed into a tree in Cheshire late Sunday evening.
