The man who broke into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home and clubbed her husband with a hammer should serve 40 years in prison for his conviction on federal offenses that amount to a crime of terrorism, prosecutors urged on Friday.

Courtroom deputy Ada Means reads the guilty verdict to convict David Wayne DePape of a hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in a federal court in San Francisco, California, U.S., November 16, 2023, in this courtroom sketch.

Prosecutors recommended that DePape receive the maximum jail term for each count - 20 years for attempted kidnapping and 30 years for assault - with 20 years of the second count consecutive to the first, for a total of 40 years behind bars. Evidence at trial showed that DePape, a Canadian citizen who had been in the United States illegally for 14 years at the time of the attack, was driven by far right-wing conspiracy theories, embracing the fictions spread by the extremist QAnon movement.
