David DePape, the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi’s home and attacked her husband with a hammer two years ago, has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The sentencing occurred in a San Francisco court, concluding all legal cases against DePape.
The big picture: DePape, 44, is already serving a 30-year sentence for federal crimes committed last year, and his state sentence will run concurrently with his federal sentence in a state prison.
The backstory: The attack took place in the early morning of Oct. 28, 2022, at the Pelosi residence, where DePape confronted Paul Pelosi, mistaking him for Nancy Pelosi and assaulting him with a hammer.
- Paul Pelosi suffered two skull fractures and underwent surgery for his injuries, with lingering effects mentioned during DePape’s state and federal trials.
Driving the news: In a letter to the judge, Paul Pelosi requested the severest possible sentence for DePape and described the lasting trauma for him and his family since the attack.
