The man convicted of attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was sentenced to 20 years in prison today, per the AP.
David DePape was found guilty last year on federal charges of kidnapping and assault.
U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley issued separate 20-year and 30-year sentences for each count, with the sentences running concurrently. During a break in at their San Francisco residence in October, 2022, DePape attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer. Nancy Pelosi, who was then House speaker, was in Washington, D.C. at the time. Prosecutors said that he planned to capture the House speaker, and he told police that if she lied when confronting her, he would have broken her kneecaps. Paul Pelosi called 911 when he broke into their residence, and when police arrived, they witnesses DePape striking him with a hammer.
DePape also faces a series of state charges, including assault with a deadly weapon and residential burglary.

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Thursday pertaining to whether states can throw Donald Trump off the 2024 presidential ballots if they determine he violated the 14th Amendment — which essentially disqualifies insurrectionists from holding office. The former president shouldn’t be too worried, however, as the conservative-controlled court seems unlikely to permit what Chief Justice John Roberts described as a “pretty daunting consequence.”
The justices did not seem very concerned with the question of whether Trump is actually an insurrectionist, only addressing it briefly during the proceedings. Trump lawyer Jonathan Mitchell...
