Accused Pelosi attacker will use trial to push QAnon conspiracies in court: Legal analyst

Raw Story  

The man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi in the San Francisco home he shares with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is avoiding an insanity defense, despite his lawyer saying he was a believer in far-right conspiracy theories. "I think what this defendant at his core might be trying to do is simply use this trial as a vehicle, as a platform to get his political views out there," Kirschner said. "This is another instance, prosecutors say, of someone who spent a lot of time online with conspiracies, not just Pizza Gate, which is this fake child sex ring, but Holocaust deniers and QAnon," said Jansing. "I think what this defendant at his core might be trying to do is simply use this trial as a vehicle, as a platform to get his political views out there, and I don't think it's going to end well for him." Kirschner explained that the defense could argue DePape wasn't in his right mind but might not be allowed to without making an official insanity defense or having the judge declare him insane.
