A San Francisco court on Friday released a graphic video showing the moment an intruder wielding a hammer attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of then-U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, inside the couple’s home.
David DePape is accused of breaking into the lawmaker’s San Francisco home in the early hours of Oct. 28, 2022, and attacking Paul Pelosi, fracturing the 82-year-old’s skull and causing other serious injuries. DePape has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, residential burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder and threats to a public official and their family.
The body-camera footage, which confirms the narrative investigators provided after the attack, shows police arriving at the Pacific Heights home to find Pelosi and the suspect standing calmly each with a hand on a large hammer.
