  John Morganelli, Northampton County's district attorney, and Jim Eisenhower, a former federal prosecutor in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., proposed toughening laws against violent criminals.
  ...
  At times, the candidates took mild pokes at each other -- Morganelli called his opponents "corporate lawyers" because they now work in private firms, while Barasch and Eisenhower intimated that Morganelli's county experience doesn't measure up.
  ...
  "It's a question of being able to manage our prison population," Eisenhower said.
  
  While both Morganelli and Barasch said they believed the state has as many mandatory minimum sentences as it can stand, Eisenhower advanced a proposal to toughen state gun laws by widening the definition of what constitutes the use of a firearm during a crime.

  This week, Steve Jr. steps into a Democratic primary fight by endorsing Jim Eisenhower, a former federal prosecutor from Philadelphia, for attorney general.
  
  Eisenhower, Ike's Democratic cousin, wants to take on incumbent attorney general Mike Fisher in November, but first he must defeat his Democratic challenger and Zappala's fellow DA, John Morganelli of Northampton County.Zappala's support for Eisenhower sets up an interesting east-west match because his Philadelphia counterpart, District Attorney Lynn Abraham, is backing Morganelli.Eisenhower is the party-endorsed Dem, but Morganelli chairs the state association of district attorneys.
  
  ...
  While nobody thinks Zappala's endorsement alone will deliver this region for Eisenhower, it will certainly help.And having a friend in the AG's office will not hurt Steve Jr.'s statewide ambitions either.

  "It's a question of being able to manage our prison population," Eisenhower said.
  
  While both Morganelli and Barasch said they believed the state has as many mandatory minimum sentences as it can stand, Eisenhower advanced a proposal to toughen state gun laws by widening the definition of what constitutes the use of a firearm during a crime.
  ...
  For example, Eisenhower said a criminal should be charged with a gun offense if he has a firearm in his belt or stashed nearby while committing a crime.Currently, the suspect must have at least brandished the firearm if prosecutors are to win an extra five-year sentence, he said.
  
  Such a change would mirror federal gun laws and mean longer prison sentences for those criminals, he said.
  
  "We've got to do more about gun violence ... and we need to make sure that there is a stricter mandatory sentence and that the law allows for more vigorous prosecution of drug criminals who use guns," Eisenhower said.
  
  After Eisenhower and Morganelli spoke about wanting to widen the office's pursuit of health care fraud and corporate crime, Barasch pointed to his record as the state's consumer advocate.
