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 assault on the immediate family member of a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal official. The Department of Justice argued that DePape’s actions constitute a federal crime of terrorism, calculated to influence government conduct through intimidation or coercion.
