Man who attacked Nancy Pelosi’s husband also found guilty of kidnapping and faces life in prison

Associated Press  

SAN FRANCISCO — A man sentenced to 30 years in federal prison in the attack against former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband was convicted Friday of aggravated kidnapping, a conviction that mandates life behind bars without the possibility of parole. “For nearly 20 grueling months, Mr. Pelosi has demonstrated extraordinary courage and fortitude every day of his recovery.” DePape’s public defender Adam Lipson said he was disappointed with the verdict and plans to appeal it. Lipson said that the verdict means that after DePape serves 30 years in federal prison, he will be transferred to California “to spend the rest of his life in a California prison.” Previously, a federal jury convicted DePape of assaulting a federal official’s family member and attempting to kidnap a federal official. Lipson told the jury during closing arguments that before the attack, DePape was living an isolated, lonely life and “went down the rabbit hole of propaganda and conspiracy theories.” This week the judge expelled DePape’s former partner from the public gallery and the second floor of the San Francisco courthouse because the judge said she was trying to tamper with the jury.
