He received that diagnosis after the attack on the Pelosi home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a man who lived a very solitary life and got involved in a lot of online conspiracy theory and engagement farming, and given his mental health condition, it led him to sort of these intractable beliefs which he’s expressed and fully believes in,” Lipson told reporters after the hearing. “His condition, combined with the sort of just kind of the terrible stuff that’s out there, just seeking engagement with people, led him down this horrible path, and this is where we wound up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to the sentencing, Lipson again argued for a new trial, saying the ransom enhancement of the kidnapping charge that carried the mandatory life sentence was brought as part of a “vindictive prosecution” after he asked a judge to dismiss three charges, including attempted murder, which carried a mandatory sentence of life with the possibility of parole.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense successfully argued that DePape was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987752/depape-faces-new-state-charges-defense-argues-double-jeopardy\">facing double jeopardy\u003c/a> — or being tried twice for the same crimes — in state court after being convicted in federal court of similar crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lipson argued that the timing of the kidnapping charge after the trial had already begun showed prosecutors’ vindictiveness. The defense filed its motion to have three charges dismissed on a Friday, and prosecutors filed the kidnapping charge with the harsher mandatory sentence the following Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dorfman ruled against that argument, saying California law was “liberal” on when prosecutors can file additional charges, which includes up to when a jury begins deliberations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11966768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11966768\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A brick house on a hill is seen from behind police caution tape.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Police tape is seen in front of the home of Rep.

His attorneys argued unsuccessfully that he was motivated not by her position as a public official but by her activities as a politician. Judges and juries in both cases rejected that distinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also argued against the ransom-related enhancement in the kidnapping charge. Lipson argued what DePape ultimately wanted — a video of the House speaker confessing to alleged crimes — had no value, while prosecutors said it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would pay good money to see a video of a prominent political figure confessing to crimes,” Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorfman denied the defense’s request for a new trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was a kidnapping conviction in an unprecedented fashion, as he was convicted of essentially a ransom kidnapping charge where there were no ransom demands or anything of the sort,” Lipson told reporters. “So, it’s used in a very different way. It was brought at the last minute in retaliation for his asserting his federal due process rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lipson said those and other issues with the case will be brought up on appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should those appeals be successful, Dorfman said he wants the appellate court to have DePape resentenced in his courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the hearing, Dorfman said he had no control over DePape’s federal sentence, which he will complete before serving his life sentence on state charges, and no control over what a future president might do, implying a second Trump administration could involve a pardon for DePape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no authority over what the president of the country can do,” Dorfman said. “I can’t predict the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The defense filed its motion to have three charges dismissed on a Friday, and prosecutors filed the kidnapping charge with the harsher mandatory sentence the following Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dorfman ruled against that argument, saying California law was “liberal” on when prosecutors can file additional charges, which includes up to when a jury begins deliberations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11966768\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11966768\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"A brick house on a hill is seen from behind police caution tape.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231108-DEPAPE-TRIAL-PELOSI-ATTACK-GETTY-JS-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Police tape is seen in front of the home of Rep.

His attorneys argued unsuccessfully that he was motivated not by her position as a public official but by her activities as a politician. Judges and juries in both cases rejected that distinction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The defense also argued against the ransom-related enhancement in the kidnapping charge. Lipson argued what DePape ultimately wanted — a video of the House speaker confessing to alleged crimes — had no value, while prosecutors said it did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would pay good money to see a video of a prominent political figure confessing to crimes,” Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorfman denied the defense’s request for a new trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was a kidnapping conviction in an unprecedented fashion, as he was convicted of essentially a ransom kidnapping charge where there were no ransom demands or anything of the sort,” Lipson told reporters. “So, it’s used in a very different way. It was brought at the last minute in retaliation for his asserting his federal due process rights.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lipson said those and other issues with the case will be brought up on appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Should those appeals be successful, Dorfman said he wants the appellate court to have DePape resentenced in his courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the hearing, Dorfman said he had no control over DePape’s federal sentence, which he will complete before serving his life sentence on state charges, and no control over what a future president might do, implying a second Trump administration could involve a pardon for DePape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have no authority over what the president of the country can do,” Dorfman said. “I can’t predict the future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On Monday, Taub handed out printed pieces of paper with the link to the website, as well as her phone number and email address. She even told reporters she was running the site to cast doubt on the state’s evidence in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Starting at noon Tuesday, the jury began deliberating DePape’s fate on five charges: burglary, felony false imprisonment of an elder, threatening a public official, kidnapping and intimidating a witness.

The two charges in federal court relied on DePape’s targeting of Nancy Pelosi because of her official position as a U.S. representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11986847/federal-judge-orders-new-sentencing-hearing-for-david-depape-in-trial-over-pelosi-attack\">court error\u003c/a> at his federal sentencing hearing has called that 30-year prison term into question and added disorder to the already complex \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11968645/david-depape-faces-second-trial-for-attempting-to-kidnap-nancy-pelosi-heres-why\">dual prosecution\u003c/a> on both federal and state-level charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second trial — this one in state court — is set to open next week. DePape faces multiple charges, including attempted murder, first-degree burglary, assault with a deadly weapon, seriously injuring an elderly adult, false imprisonment and threatening a public official’s family member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors recently added two new charges. One of them, aggravated kidnapping resulting in bodily harm or death, carries with it a life sentence without the possibility of parole. The other adds one count of preventing or dissuading a witness by force or threat. DePape has pleaded not guilty to all charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco District Attorney’s Office declined to comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a motion filed Tuesday, DePape’s attorneys in the state case argue that California law protects DePape from being tried for crimes stemming from the same acts that led to the conviction in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once judgment was issued in Mr. DePape’s federal case, the government became barred under double jeopardy statutes from prosecuting him on any state charges arising out of the same acts for which he was convicted in federal court,” the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office said in a written statement. “Upon the federal court’s pronouncement of judgment last Friday, our office immediately filed a motion to dismiss the state case based on these statutes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s attorneys argue that California law, specifically two sections of the state penal code, offers greater protection than the double jeopardy clause of the Fifth Amendment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DePape’s assault on Mr. Pelosi with a hammer was an act of violence that shocked our country,” the motion said. “So was his forced entry into the Pelosis’ home. The United States has tried, convicted and severely punished DePape for those crimes. California law does not permit a second trial for the same conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visiting University of San Francisco law professor Andrew Lah said the legal doctrine of dual sovereignty typically allows the prosecution of a defendant for the same acts in both state and federal court. And he noted a prominent example: the double prosecution of Derek Chauvin following the murder of George Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a state prosecution under state law for murder charges in that case,” Lah said. “We also had the federal government prosecuting for federal criminal civil rights violations. It all flowed from Chauvin’s conduct of killing George Floyd. That doesn’t violate double jeopardy because even though it’s from effectively the same conduct, the state of Minnesota and the United States of America are separate sovereigns for purposes of the double jeopardy clause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, DePape’s San Francisco public defenders argue that California law provides greater protections against repeated prosecution. They cite two sections of the penal code, one that makes a prior conviction a defense to a new charge stemming from the same acts and another that bars prosecution after a conviction in another court system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s sentencing hearing in the federal case has been reopened after U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley failed to give DePape an opportunity to speak at his May 17 sentencing hearing. A do-over sentencing is scheduled in federal court on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same day, a judge in state court will hear arguments over whether some of the charges DePape is facing should be dismissed based on the defense’s motion regarding double jeopardy.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The two charges in federal court relied on DePape’s targeting of Nancy Pelosi because of her official position as a U.S. representative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11986847/federal-judge-orders-new-sentencing-hearing-for-david-depape-in-trial-over-pelosi-attack\">court error\u003c/a> at his federal sentencing hearing has called that 30-year prison term into question and added disorder to the already complex \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11968645/david-depape-faces-second-trial-for-attempting-to-kidnap-nancy-pelosi-heres-why\">dual prosecution\u003c/a> on both federal and state-level charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second trial — this one in state court — is set to open next week.

One of them, aggravated kidnapping resulting in bodily harm or death, carries with it a life sentence without the possibility of parole.

The United States has tried, convicted and severely punished DePape for those crimes. California law does not permit a second trial for the same conduct.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visiting University of San Francisco law professor Andrew Lah said the legal doctrine of dual sovereignty typically allows the prosecution of a defendant for the same acts in both state and federal court. And he noted a prominent example: the double prosecution of Derek Chauvin following the murder of George Floyd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had a state prosecution under state law for murder charges in that case,” Lah said. “We also had the federal government prosecuting for federal criminal civil rights violations. It all flowed from Chauvin’s conduct of killing George Floyd. That doesn’t violate double jeopardy because even though it’s from effectively the same conduct, the state of Minnesota and the United States of America are separate sovereigns for purposes of the double jeopardy clause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, DePape’s San Francisco public defenders argue that California law provides greater protections against repeated prosecution. They cite two sections of the penal code, one that makes a prior conviction a defense to a new charge stemming from the same acts and another that bars prosecution after a conviction in another court system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s sentencing hearing in the federal case has been reopened after U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley failed to give DePape an opportunity to speak at his May 17 sentencing hearing. A do-over sentencing is scheduled in federal court on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same day, a judge in state court will hear arguments over whether some of the charges DePape is facing should be dismissed based on the defense’s motion regarding double jeopardy.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The 20- and 30-year sentences he received for each crime were ordered to be served simultaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is so harmful to everyone in this country,” U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said just before ordering the 30-year sentence, noting that those considering going into public service must now consider the risk not only to themselves but to their spouse, children and grandchildren. “We will never know everything we have lost because of this crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In letters to the judge, Nancy and Paul Pelosi described the October 2022 attack’s lasting effects on their lives, physical and otherwise, as they asked for the longest possible sentence. Their daughter, Christine Pelosi, read the letters from the witness stand while DePape looked on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Pelosi described ongoing security threats and DePape’s resonance with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Reports of the home invasion with shouts of ‘Where’s Nancy?’ — echoing the January 6th threats — filled me with great fear and deep pain,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape awoke Paul Pelosi with the now-infamous phrase in the early hours of Oct. 28, 2022, looking for his wife.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she wasn’t home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Pelosi managed to call 911, and officers arrived at the front door of the Pelosi home to find both men with their hands on a hammer. The body camera video shows officers ordering DePape to drop it. He said, “Nope,” and then struck Pelosi repeatedly on the head, also severely injuring Pelosi’s left hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The account was part of significant evidence presented to the federal jury of DePape’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967247/david-depape-on-witness-stand-details-grand-plan-to-violently-interrogate-nancy-pelosi\">plot to kidnap Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, among others, and his ultimate assault of Paul Pelosi.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter, Paul Pelosi, who was 82 at the time of the attack, described ongoing pain, sensitivity to bright lights, dizzy spells and nerve damage. He wrote that he can still feel “bumps on my head from the hammer blows and a metal plate from skull surgery.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not answer our landline phone or our front door due to ongoing threats,” Paul Pelosi wrote. “We cannot fully remove the stain on the floor in the front entryway where I bled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nancy Pelosi noted that she and her husband have never talked about what happened during the attack. Without using former President Donald Trump’s name, she appeared to call out times that he has referenced the brutal assault on her husband.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the attack is a source of sick humor — especially to people in high places — it adds to the pain, the fear and the threat to those who might consider public office,” she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"david-depape\"]Prosecutors had argued that DePape \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11985847/federal-prosecutors-request-40-year-sentence-for-david-depape-who-attacked-pelosis-husband-with-a-hammer\">should be sentenced to 40 years in prison\u003c/a> because of his violent plot to kidnap the then-speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was an \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11986566/prosecutors-push-for-terrorism-enhancement-in-sentencing-of-david-depape-who-bludgeoned-paul-pelosi-in-2022\">act of domestic terrorism\u003c/a>,” a federal prosecutor argued during the sentencing hearing on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She referenced a January 2023 call DePape \u003ca href=\"https://www.ktvu.com/news/depape-in-bizarre-phone-call-to-ktvu-says-he-should-have-been-more-prepared\">made from a jail cell to a KTVU reporter\u003c/a>. “He claimed to be a patriot. He wishes he’d gotten more of them. This is no patriot. This is a domestic terrorist, and it is a lone wolf domestic terrorist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Judge Corley also referenced DePape’s statement during the call that he was sorry he didn’t “get more of them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds like he’s taunting his victims,” Corley said from the bench. “He’s taunting America.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge said she believes DePape continues to pose a danger to the public. Despite several chances to change course that night in the Pelosi home, he continued with “completely gratuitous” violence, Corley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Angela Chuang argued that a 14-year sentence was more appropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DePape was at a very low point in his life” in the months leading up to the attack, she said in court on Friday. “His living situation was bad. He didn’t have bathroom access.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that he was spending “every waking hour \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11966865/defense-focuses-on-conspiracy-theories-in-first-day-of-trial-over-attempted-nancy-pelosi-kidnapping\">listening to conspiracy theories\u003c/a> promoted by people in places of power, who command respect” as his mental health deteriorated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s federal public defenders filed a notice of appeal Friday afternoon, saying they intend to challenge both the judgment and sentence he received.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape received over a year and a half of credit for his time in custody awaiting trial and sentencing. He faces potential deportation to Canada after his prison sentence, according to statements by the judge and attorneys in court on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape will \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11968645/david-depape-faces-second-trial-for-attempting-to-kidnap-nancy-pelosi-heres-why\">go to trial in state court\u003c/a> in the coming weeks. He is facing multiple state charges, including attempted murder, residential burglary, seriously injuring an elder adult, assault with a deadly weapon, false imprisonment and threatening a public official’s family member. Jury selection is expected to begin Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The 20- and 30-year sentences he received for each crime were ordered to be served simultaneously.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is so harmful to everyone in this country,” U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley said just before ordering the 30-year sentence, noting that those considering going into public service must now consider the risk not only to themselves but to their spouse, children and grandchildren. “We will never know everything we have lost because of this crime.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In letters to the judge, Nancy and Paul Pelosi described the October 2022 attack’s lasting effects on their lives, physical and otherwise, as they asked for the longest possible sentence. Their daughter, Christine Pelosi, read the letters from the witness stand while DePape looked on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
