FILE – David DePape is seen, Dec. 13, 2013, in Berkeley, Calif. Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to impose a 40-year prison sentence for DePape, the man who broke into former U.S. House Speaker

Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to impose a 40-year prison sentence for the individual who broke into the San Francisco home of former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with intentions of holding her hostage and subsequently attacked her husband with a hammer. The incident, which occurred in October 2022, has prompted prosecutors to request a lengthy sentence for the perpetrator.

According to court documents, prosecutors have emphasized that the defendant, who has been identified as David DePape, has displayed a lack of remorse for his actions during the attack. They argue that DePape's behavior and lack of contrition do not warrant leniency in sentencing.
