District Attorney Jan Scully announced today that this year’s prestigious Brian Hintz Prosecutor of the Year Award was given to Marjorie Koller Durenberger.

Each year the Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office recognizes one of their own to receive the Brian Hintz Prosecutor of the Year Award.  This award is presented annually to a prosecutor who has performed his or her duties with the same qualities exhibited by Brian Hintz as a deputy district attorney:  Outstanding job performance, enthusiasm, team work and integrity.
