Berkshire DA Hopeful Judith Knight Talks Reforms, Election

www.judithknight.com

Judith Knight, a private practice attorney from Great Barrington, Massachusetts, is running in this summer’s Democratic primary for Berkshire County District Attorney seat. It’s not her first time. In 2006, she ran against then-DA David Capeless. Now she faces his longtime second-in-command Paul Caccaviello, who was appointed to replace Capeless in advance of this year’s election. She’s also up against another Great Barrington attorney, Andrea Harrington. Below is a WAMC web exclusive where Knight talks about her 2006 bid against Capeless.

Knight explains why a Great Barrington drug bust involving mandatory minimums drew her into the race for DA in 2006 to WAMC News:
