The man who bludgeoned Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer and was sentenced to 30 years in federal court was convicted of aggravated kidnapping in state court
A San Francisco jury on Friday found DePape also guilty of first-degree burglary , false imprisonment of an elder, threatening a family member of a public official, dissuading a witness to the charges and aggravated kidnapping .
Lipson focused his closing arguments on explaining to the jury that prosecutors did not prove DePape kidnapped Paul Pelosi, who was 82 at the time, with the intent “to exact from another person money or something valuable,” which is integral to the charge.Lipson argued the video didn’t exist and if it did, it wouldn’t have had any value.
“There is inherent value in a video of the Speaker of the House confessing to crimes in her own home,” Maffei said.including a skull fracture that was mended with plates and screws he will have for the rest of his life. His right arm and hand were also injured. DePape admitted during his federal trial testimony that he planned to hold Nancy Pelosi hostage, record his interrogation of her, and “break her kneecaps” if she did not admit to the lies he said she told about “Russiagate,” a reference to the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
On Monday and Tuesday, Gypsy Taub, a well-known activist in the Bay Area, handed out pieces of paper outside the courtroom with the address of a website she runs that promotes conspiracy theories. The cards were also found in a women’s bathroom near the courtroom where the website’s address was scrawled in marker on a wall.
