The person who attacked Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer throughout a 2022 housebreaking of the couple’s San Francisco residence was discovered responsible by a jury within the state’s case towards him, The Related Press reported.
David DePape has already been convicted on federal costs within the October 28, 2022 housebreaking and assault on Paul Pelosi, and DePape was sentenced to 30 years in jail in that case.
The jury convicted DePape of first-degree housebreaking, false imprisonment, threatening a member of the family of a authorities official and aggravated kidnapping, the AP stated.
The San Francisco District Lawyer’s Workplace didn’t instantly reply to an emailed request for remark.
Nancy Pelosi, the previous Speaker of the Home of Representatives, was in Washington DC on the time of the housebreaking and was not injured.
Paul Pelosi testified on the federal trial that on the day of the housebreaking he was woke up by “a really giant man” with a hammer and zip ties, who requested, “The place’s Nancy?”
Paul Pelosi managed to name 911 and the police when DePape wasn’t wanting. Officers arrived to search out DePape and Pelosi with their palms on the hammer DePape was wielding. Officers ordered the hammer to be dropped, after which DePape struck Pelosi within the head.
Pelosi, then 82, suffered a cranium fracture.
Throughout the state trial, San Francisco Public Defender Adam Lipson advised jurors in closing arguments that DePape had led a lonely life and had gone “down the rabbit gap of propaganda and conspiracy theories” earlier than the housebreaking and assault. That is reported by the Related Press.
Throughout the state trial, Lipson advised the jury that DePape was responsible of three of the fees, however that prosecutors had not introduced proof to convict him of threatening a member of the family of a authorities official and aggravated kidnapping.
