50 WIDENER LAW
Robert A. Honecker received the Outstanding Career Advocacy Award on September 15, 2006, from the County Prosecutors Association of New Jersey at the annual State of New Jersey County Prosecutors Association meeting, held in Atlantic City. The award is given to a career assistant prosecutor who has demonstrated leadership that has inspired his colleagues to become better prosecutors, conveyed
professionalism and integrity throughout his career, and made a difference in the lives of victims. Honecker, who joined the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office in 1981, is the first assistant prosecutor from Monmouth County to receive this award. Honecker has served for over 25 years with the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office, having held the positions of Director of the Child Abuse Unit, Director of the Environmental Crimes Unit, Second Assistant Prosecutor, First Assistant Prosecutor, and Acting Prosecutor for Monmouth County. One of eight assistant district attorneys and prosecutors in the United States who sit on the National District Attorneys Association’s Board of Directors, Honecker is a certified criminal trial attorney in the state of New Jersey and resides in Shrewsbury with his wife and three children. David Moneymaker reports that he is alive and well despite a report in the Fall 2006 issue of the Widener Law magazine to the contrary. Commenting on the error, Moneymaker noted, “As strange as it may sound, a lot of good has come from that mistake. I was able to catch up with individuals with whom I haven’t spoken in a very long time.”
