'There's been a lot of speculation about Mr. DePape's vulnerability to misinformation,' said deputy public defender Adam Lipson. 'That's certainly something that we're going to delve into as his defense team.'
David DePape, 42, the now-infamous extremist who allegedly attacked and severely injured Paul Pelosi with a hammer last Friday, was arraigned in a San Francisco court Tuesday.“There’s been a lot of speculation about Mr DePape’s vulnerability to misinformation,” said Lipson. “That’s certainly something that we’re going to delve into as his defense team.”
The defendant will be detained without bail until a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. on Friday, after waiving his right to a hearing on Tuesday.On a local level, District Attorney Brooke Jenkins levied charges of attempted murder, first degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, false imprisonment of an elder and threats to the family of a public official to DePape’s counts.
Early Friday morning, DePape reportedly broke into the home of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi using a hammer, entering through a glass door. He had a verbal confrontation with Paul Pelosi in which he indicated he was “looking for Nancy”, referring to the speaker of the house, and attempted to restrain Paul Pelosi.
