Paul Pelosi's attacker pleads not guilty to state criminal charges - after already denying the ambush in federal court and waiving his right to a trial within 60 day
Daily Mail ^

The man accused of breaking into Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco home and beating her husband with a hammer has pleaded not guilty to state charges.

David DePape, 42, appeared in a California court on Wednesday wearing a jail-issued orange sweater, sweatpants and a black facemask as he denied the charges against him for the October 28 attack on Paul Pelosi.

He only spoke once during the hearing, Mercury News reports, to confirm that he wanted to waive his right to a trial within 60 days.

DePape now remains at a San Francisco jail on a range of state charges, including attempted murder, false imprisonment of an elder, threatening the family member of a public official, battery causing serious bodily injury and dissuading a witness from reporting a crime.

He has previously denied in federal court that he ambushed Paul Pelosi — despite body camera footage showing DePape telling cops at the scene he wanted revenge on Democrats for 'prosecuting Trump.'

During the two-minute phone call, the indictment says, Pelosi made clear he did not know the man, even as DePape could be heard in the background saying his name is 'David' and he is a 'friend.'

He certainly does NOT wish to be out on the streets with Nanzi able to finish him off.

Whose? DePape's? I doubt he has one. Poor sap with barely two nickles to rub together.

Waiving his right to a speedy trial while incarcerated is foolish.

Sketch of alleged attacker....

Why didn’t they make him clean shaven and like a GQ model?

When some abductors who held their young woman captives were brought to the police station they had long scraggly, dirty hair and beards but in court were cleaned up to impress the jurors.

Lawyers have website posts about “your day in court” and advice.

I thought the deliberately made him look like Jesus in the drawing

You must always look at symbolism in cases like this.

First this guy is going to get crucified, and the judge will probably have to take a shower afterwards.

Second it comes just after Christmas, you can figure out the meanings of that yourself.
