David DePape, the man who broke into Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home and beat her husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Nancy Pelosi previously urged the judge to give DePape a “very long” sentence.

In October 2022, David DePape, 43, broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco residence and attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer.

When police arrived at the residence, Paul Pelosi opened the door. Shortly after that, DePape attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer and fractured his skull.

In November, the jury found DePape guilty on “kidnapping and assault on account of a federal official’s performance of official duties,” ABC News reported.

David DePape is still facing state charges related to his attack on Paul Pelosi.

Excerpt from ABC News:

The man convicted of breaking into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home and attacking her husband Paul Pelosi with a hammer has been sentenced to 30 years in federal prison.

Federal prosecutors wanted DePape to serve 40 years for his conviction on charges of attempted kidnapping of a federal officer or employee and assault of an immediate family member of a federal official.

“The defendant planned a violent hostage-taking of the Speaker Emerita, and then nearly killed her husband,” prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memorandum. “The defendant planned and unleashed violence and has stayed true to his belief that the actions were necessary.”
