David DePape sentenced to 30 years in Paul Pelosi attack
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — David DePape, the man who broke into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and bludgeoned her husband with a hammer, was sentenced on Friday. DePape, 43, was looking for Nancy Pelosi when he broke into the couple’s home on Oct. 28, 2022.
Prosecutors say DePape was animated by right-wing conspiracy theories. During trial testimony, he admitted that he broke into the Pelosi home intending to end government corruption, hold Speaker Pelosi hostage, and “break her kneecaps” if she lied to him.
DePape said he struck Paul Pelosi with a hammer after police showed up at the home and his plan was unraveling. The attack was recorded on two San Francisco Police Department officers’ body-worn cameras.
Federal prosecutors in the case are asking for a 40-year prison sentence for DePape, who lived in a garage in Richmond at the time of the attack. Follow our live blog for the latest updates from the courtroom proceedings Friday.
