A man who bludgeoned former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer has been convicted of aggravated kidnapping and other charges in a state court trial. The defendant, David DePape, was sentenced to 30 years in federal court for the attack on Paul Pelosi, and now faces additional charges that could result in a possible life sentence.
In addition to aggravated kidnapping, DePape was found guilty of first-degree burglary, false imprisonment of an elder, threatening a family member of a public official, and dissuading a witness. The attack on Paul Pelosi left him with severe injuries, including head wounds and a skull fracture that required surgical intervention.
