David DePape, the man who attacked Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer in October 2022, was sentenced on Friday to 30 years in prison.
The attack on Paul Pelosi occurred in the Pelosis’ San Francisco home on Oct. 28, 2022, just days before the midterm elections.
Paul Pelosi suffered a fractured skull and severe damage to his left hand. To this day, he deals with terrible headaches, struggles with balance, and pinched nerves in his left hand, according to a letter he detailed to the court ahead of sentencing. Leading up to the attack, DePape testified that he spent six hours a day watching political commentary and conspiracy theories. He believed the former speaker was a member of a Satan-worshiping cult that ran a global pedophile sex ring, and he broke into the home to force her to confess to her involvement on camera. He told investigators he intended to break her kneecaps if she didn’t answer his questions truthfully. At the time of the attack, the former speaker was in Washington, D.C.
