State charges included kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of husband of Nancy Pelosi
The man who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attacking the husband ofĀ Nancy Pelosi with a hammer in theirĀ California home was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole following a separate state trial.
AĀ San Francisco jury in June found David DePapeĀ guilty of chargesĀ including aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of an elder.
Before issuing the sentence, Judge Harry Dorfman dismissed arguments from DePapeās attorneys that he be granted a new trial for the 2022 attack against Paul Pelosi, who was 82 years old at the time.
āItās my intention that Mr DePape will never get out of prison, he can never be paroled,ā Dorfman said while handing out the punishment.
A life sentence for attempted 1st degree murder isnāt draconian. What would you have us do, set him free?
Just making shit upā¦
He wasnāt convicted of Attempted Murder. He was convicted of:
Federal: 30 years
State: Life without parole
Good thing I wasnāt talking about what he was convicted of, and instead was talking about what he did. Defense lawyers always try to negotiate and reduce charges to lower ones.
Now answer my question. What would you have us do with him?
