A judge has dismissed several criminal charges against Paul Pelosi's attacker in state court
A judge on Thursday dismissed several state charges against Paul Pelosi's attacker, who was convicted in federal court last month, based on the argument that the counts fall under double jeopardy, according to the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. David DePape was convicted last month of assaulting a federal official’s family member and attempting to kidnap a federal official.
The judge on Thursday dismissed the state charges of attempted murder, elder abuse and assault with a deadly weapon. DePape still faces charges of false imprisonment, residential burglary, threatening a family member of a public official, attempting to sway a witness and aggravated kidnapping. Those were not part of the federal trial. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The public defender’s office did not have an additional comment besides confirming the judge’s ruling.
