This exclusive chat with Philadelphia District Attorney candidate Charles "Chuck" Peruto is a real eye-opener. The noted defense attorney shared all with Christine Flowers and I last night. Here are some of the highlights:
- Peruto says he has long thought of seeking the DA's post and the last four years of DA Larry Krasner convinced him that he had to make this race on behalf of a city that he obviously loves.
- Peruto reveals the most important thing that he learned from his legendary father who was one of the city's best known and most fearless courtroom gladiators.
- He names some of his heroes -- legendary Philadelphia legal figures who, like his dad. were bigger than life.
- He tells us why he was not surprised that Carlos Vega did not best Krasner in the recent Democrat primary.
- Peruto gives us a very frank assessment of Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. He pulls no punches!
- He reveals his deepest concerns about the future of the city and why he thinks this election could be a real turning point one way or another.
- He tells us what worries him most about the campaign he's about to embark upon.
- Peruto anticipates what Krasner's strategy may be for the fall and tell us why Krasner may be thinking this way.
- He predicts how his campaign may fare in the African-American community and tells us how he's reaching out to other racial and ethnic groups.
- And, he gives us his view on legalized marijuana and a host of other hot topics.
