David DePape broke into ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home and brutally assaulted her husband, Paul Pelosi, in October 2022.
SAN FRANCISCO — The man who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attacking the husband of former House Speakerwith a hammer in their California home was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole following a separate state trial.
One of the defense attorneys, Adam Lipson, asked Dorfman before the sentence was handed down to consider DePape’s mental health and isolation that made him susceptible to online propaganda.When given the chance to address the court prior to his sentencing, DePape, dressed in prison orange and with his brown hair in a ponytail, spoke at length about Sept. 11 being an inside job, his ex-wife being replaced by a body double, and his government-provided attorneys conspiring against him.
In a letter read in court by the victim’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, Paul Pelosi called for the maximum sentence, saying the “last peaceful sleep” he had ended abruptly “when the defendant violently broke into my home, burst into my bedroom and stood over my bed with a hammer and zip ties demanding to see my wife, yelling ‘Where’s Nancy?’”Thank you for your past contribution to HuffPost.
