A federal judge sentenced David DePape, the man convicted of attacking Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, to 30 years in prison on Friday.
A federal judge on Friday sentenced David DePape to 30 years in prison, after he was convicted in the violent October 2022 attack on Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul. DePape was sentenced to 30 years for assault and 20 years for attempted kidnapping, which will run concurrently. Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who presided over DePape’s trial for the Northern District of California, said she had to “ensure that the sentence reflects the seriousness of the offense.
He was “surprised and confused,” he testified, when he found out that the congresswoman was not home. “I’m telling him, ‘I have other targets, but if you stop me, I’ll go through you,’” DePape said, recounting a conversation with Paul Pelosi, adding that he then reacted and hit Pelosi “in the head,” because his plan was “basically ruined.” In his testimony, Pelosi recounted how he awoke from sleep the night of the attack to see a man with a hammer in his home.
