State jury convicts David DePape in attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband
A jury convicted David DePape on state charges for attacking Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer in 2022
The man who attacked Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer during a break-in at the couple’s San Francisco home was found guilty by a jury Friday on all counts in the state case against him.
David DePape has already been convicted on federal counts in the Oct. 28, 2022, break in and attack on Paul Pelosi, and DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison in that case.
"We are truly all grateful for Mr. Pelosi's physical recovery, and hope that this verdict can allow them to rest a little easier as they move forward," San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said after the guilty verdict was returned Friday afternoon.
The jury found DePape guilty of aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, threats against an elected official or their family, and preventing or dissuading a witness by force or threat, Jenkins said.
Nancy Pelosi, the former Speaker of the House, was in Washington, D.C., at the time of the break-in and was not hurt.
