The man who attacked Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer during a break-in at the couple’s San Francisco home in 2022 was found guilty by a jury in the state case against him, The Associated Press reported. David DePape has already been convicted on federal counts in the Oct. 28, 2022, break in and attack on Paul Pelosi, and DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison in that case.
Paul Pelosi testified during the federal trial that he was awakened by “a very large man” with a hammer and zip ties on the day of the break in who asked “Where’s Nancy?” Paul Pelosi managed to call 911 and police when DePape was not looking. Officers arrived and found DePape and Pelosi with hands on the hammer that DePape was wielding. Officers commanded to drop the hammer, and DePape then struck Pelosi on the head. Pelosi, then 82, suffered a fractured skull.
