At 10 a.m. January 2, Andrea Harrington was sworn in as Berkshire County’s new District Attorney at the Berkshire Museum in Pittsfield. It marks the end of Paul Caccaviello’s nine and a half months in office. Appointed in mid-March after the resignation of David Capeless, Caccaviello suffered a pair of electoral losses to Harrington in September’s Democratic primary and November’s general election.
