- Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless
Berkshire District Attorney David F. Capeless announced that Megan J. Tesoniero is this year’s recipient of the Massachusetts District Attorneys Association Spotlight Award.
Assistant District Attorney Tesoniero, who joined the Office in 2012, received the award at a ceremony held at the Annual Massachusetts Prosecutor's Conference. The Spotlight Award recognizes excellence, and Tesoniero was nominated by District Attorney Capeless and her colleagues for her hard work, diligence and teamwork as an Assistant District Attorney in the Berkshire District Courts.
In announcing Tesoniero as the Spotlight Award winner, District Attorney Capeless said, “Professional, Poised, Prepared, Persistent, Passionate and Personable: an outstanding combination of attribute for a prosecutor, and Megan Tesoniero has them all. Eager to take on the toughest cases, she is always ready and never backs down, even to rude judges. Megan smoothly handles a mixed District and Superior Court caseload and is a mentor to junior prosecutors, by both example and teaching. A quite deserving Spotlight Award winner.”
The Spotlight Award is given annually to an assistant district attorney from each District Attorney’s Office in recognition of their outstanding service, spirit, and professionalism.
