Paul Pelosi is expected to take the witness stand on Friday in San Francisco Superior Court to face David DePape, the man already convicted in federal court of brutally attacking him with a hammer.
DePape, 44, is now facing state charges that include attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment, threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official, and threatening the staff or family of a public official. On Thursday, prosecutors called a neurologist to the witness stand, and he testified that 82-year-old Paul Pelosi may suffer the rest of his life from the injuries caused by the hammer attack.
"When we are asleep, we are most vulnerable, and our elderly are our most vulnerable citizens," he said. "Think about that: a home, in the middle of the night, a man alone, sleeping in his bed."Paul Pelosi went from sleeping peacefully to living "a nightmare," Connolly said.Opening statements began Wednesday, a day after DePape’s federal sentencing was reopened to allow him to speak.
