Summary
David DePape has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. This sentencing follows a state trial where DePape was found guilty of charges including aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary, and false imprisonment of an elder.
The attack occurred on October 28, 2022, when DePape broke into the Pelosi home, demanding to see Nancy Pelosi and violently assaulted her husband with a hammer. Paul Pelosi sustained serious injuries, including a skull fracture and damage to his right arm and hand. This incident, which took place just days before the midterm elections, drew significant media attention and raised concerns about political violence. DePape had previously been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for related charges, and his state sentence will run concurrently with that.
