Man convicted of attacking ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer sentenced to 30 years

The man convicted of attempting to kidnap then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and attacking her husband with a hammer was sentenced Friday to 30 years in prison.

Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley handed down the sentence for David DePape, 44, whom jurors found guilty last November of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. Prosecutors had asked for a 40-year prison term.

DePape admitted during trial testimony that he broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home Oct. 28, 2022, intending to hold the speaker hostage and “break her kneecaps” if she lied to him. He also admitted to bludgeoning Paul Pelosi with a hammer after police showed up, saying his plan to end what he viewed as government corruption was unraveling. The attack on Paul Pelosi, who was 82 at the time, was captured on police body camera video just days before the midterm elections and sent shockwaves through the political world.

Actually, I wish this would set a standard for all illegals: 30 years in jail. Okay, we’d have 60 million illegals in prison, that would be a great and liberating day. Give the non-violent ones early release to make a one-way departure from the US with promise to never return.

I don’t have TV, where did you get your version of the break-in, and what DePape was wearing?

30 years may be an excessive sentence, but DePape was guilty as charged,...

Then it was not an excessive sentence. Violent criminals should be locked away for the rest of their lives.

The only problem I have is that such prosecutions are only taken against criminals who assault a member of our nomenklatura. When the victims are ordinary people, the criminal gets out of jail on a "no-bail" release before the victim gets out of the hospital.

...and Paul Pelosi deserves some apologies.

Nope. Pelosi should have been jailed for his DUI. He is a privileged member of the elites and gets protection not offered to the lesser peasants.

But I do hope his assailant is put away for that 30 years.

After seeing post 32 and 38, and making more of a fool of yourself with post 41 I thought you might acknowledge your previous ignorance about that night.

Tell us where you got your totally false information and why you are still spreading it a year and a half later?

It seems your ignorance is fake, more a case of your lying than actually not knowing.
