Kidnapping,San Francisco,Courts

A man who bludgeoned Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer and was sentenced to 30 years in federal court has also been convicted of aggravated kidnapping by a state court that could put him behind bars for life.

FILE – David DePape is shown in Berkeley, Calif., on Dec. 13, 2013. A judge on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, expelled from court the former partner of the conspiracy theorist charged with breaking into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home in 2022, banning her from the public gallery as DePape’s state trial wrapped up. FILE - Paul Pelosi , husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, leaves the Phillip Burton Federal Building and U.S.

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Harry Dorfman agreed and dismissed the state charges of attempted murder, elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. Another judge upheld the decision on appeal. In her rebuttal, Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei pointed out DePape told a detective and testified in federal court that he planned to get a video of Nancy Pelosi confessing to what he believed to be crimes and post it on the internet.

“The plain facts of this case are terrifying by themselves without embellishment,” Maffei said. “David DePape broke into the home of an 82-year-old man while he slept, entered his bedroom, held him hostage with a hammer, threatened him, threatened his wife and attempted to kill him.” This week the judge expelled DePape’s former partner from the public gallery and the second floor of the San Francisco courthouse because the judge said she was trying to tamper with the jury.
