David DePape, the man accused of attacking former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul, with a hammer, went down a right-wing conspiracy theory rabbit hole believing outlandish accusations about the likes of George Soros, Rep. Adam Schiff , and even the Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks, a jury heard Thursday.
"Members of the jury, many of us do not believe any of that, but the evidence in this trial will show that Mr. DePape believes all of these things ... with every ounce of his being," Linker said. Prosecutors allege DePape entered the Pelosis' home in the tony Pacific Heights neighborhood on Oct. 28, 2022, after smashing a rear glass door with a hammer and then headed up to the second floor of the house, where he found Paul Pelosi asleep. DePape allegedly screamed"Where's Nancy?" repeatedly at her husband, who managed to make a 911 telephone call in which he spoke to the dispatcher and left the line open for authorities.
