DePape's attorney, Jodi Linker, conceded during the trial that her client attacked the then-82-year-old Paul Pelosi, but argued that his motivation for the assault did not match the charges against him.
Prosecutors are recommending a 40-year sentence for the man found guilty of using a hammer to attack former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, inside their San Francisco home in October 2022.David DePape was convicted in November of one count of assault on the immediate family member of a federal official, with the jury determining that he used a dangerous weapon, and a second count of attempted kidnapping of a federal official.
During the trial, DePape, who described his political leanings as 'right of center,' told the jury that he was focused on Nancy Pelosi and that her husband was not on his list of targets. He was 'surprised and confused,' he said, when he found the congresswoman was not home.In his testimony, Paul Pelosi recounted how he awoke the night of the attack to see a man with a hammer in his home. That man, later identified by police as DePape, asked where his wife was, he said.
