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. Dorfman \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989279/sf-judge-tosses-3-state-charges-against-man-who-attacked-nancy-pelosis-husband\">dismissed three other charges \u003c/a>— attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse — after the defense successfully argued DePape had already been tried for those crimes in federal court, where he was convicted and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987892/paul-pelosis-attacker-apologizes-at-resentencing-but-prison-term-is-unchanged\">sentenced last month to 30 years in prison\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their closing arguments, both the prosecution and defense painted DePape, 44, as someone who went too far down the rabbit hole of YouTube conspiracy theories, leaving him to believe the government to be corrupt and that Hollywood was tied up in a large pedophile ring. Taub, who has also embraced conspiracy theories, heavily influenced his actions and “inflicted immeasurable harm to his mental state,” DePape’s defense had argued in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Led by his belief in those theories, DePape went to the Pelosis’ San Francisco home after 2 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2022, in search of the House speaker. He used a hammer to smash in the downstairs patio door and his 6-foot-4, 300-pound body to push open a heavy wood door, bursting through the doors of the couple’s third-floor bedroom where only Paul Pelosi was asleep, according to court testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990965\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990965\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Public defender Adam Lipson gives his closing arguments in the state trial of David DePape in San Francisco Superior Court on June 18, 2024. \u003ccite>(Vicki Behringer for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Where’s Nancy?” Paul Pelosi testified that DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors again played the 911 call Paul Pelosi made over the speaker phone in their bedroom bathroom, with Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei telling the jury it would make more sense now that they had all the details of those early morning hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My name is David,” DePape said on the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who is David?” the 911 operator said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know,” Paul Pelosi said. “He says he’s a friend, but he’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors repeatedly played body camera video from two Capitol Police officers who responded to the home following Paul Pelosi’s call to 911 to find him and DePape standing next to each other, trying to gain control of a claw hammer in DePape’s hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Drop the hammer,” one officer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nope,” DePape replied before striking Pelosi multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurors heard from investigators and received transcripts of DePape’s testimony from his federal trial, where a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967595/david-depape-found-guilty-in-paul-pelosi-hammer-attack\">jury found him guilty in November\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maffei said DePape spent months planning a “rampage” with a list of targets and showed up to the Pelosi home “prepared for a lengthy standoff.” DePape wanted to confront Pelosi and interrogate her about “Russiagate,” an online conspiracy theory regarding the investigation into Russian interference in U.S. elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape brought a sledgehammer to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home with one purpose, Maffei said: “He wanted to break her kneecaps, so she would be wheeled onto the floor of Congress.

Dorfman \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989279/sf-judge-tosses-3-state-charges-against-man-who-attacked-nancy-pelosis-husband\">dismissed three other charges \u003c/a>— attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse — after the defense successfully argued DePape had already been tried for those crimes in federal court, where he was convicted and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987892/paul-pelosis-attacker-apologizes-at-resentencing-but-prison-term-is-unchanged\">sentenced last month to 30 years in prison\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their closing arguments, both the prosecution and defense painted DePape, 44, as someone who went too far down the rabbit hole of YouTube conspiracy theories, leaving him to believe the government to be corrupt and that Hollywood was tied up in a large pedophile ring. Taub, who has also embraced conspiracy theories, heavily influenced his actions and “inflicted immeasurable harm to his mental state,” DePape’s defense had argued in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Led by his belief in those theories, DePape went to the Pelosis’ San Francisco home after 2 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2022, in search of the House speaker. He used a hammer to smash in the downstairs patio door and his 6-foot-4, 300-pound body to push open a heavy wood door, bursting through the doors of the couple’s third-floor bedroom where only Paul Pelosi was asleep, according to court testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990965\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990965\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/IMG_9675-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Public defender Adam Lipson gives his closing arguments in the state trial of David DePape in San Francisco Superior Court on June 18, 2024. \u003ccite>(Vicki Behringer for KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Where’s Nancy?” Paul Pelosi testified that DePape said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors again played the 911 call Paul Pelosi made over the speaker phone in their bedroom bathroom, with Assistant District Attorney Phoebe Maffei telling the jury it would make more sense now that they had all the details of those early morning hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My name is David,” DePape said on the call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Who is David?” the 911 operator said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know,” Paul Pelosi said. “He says he’s a friend, but he’s not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors repeatedly played body camera video from two Capitol Police officers who responded to the home following Paul Pelosi’s call to 911 to find him and DePape standing next to each other, trying to gain control of a claw hammer in DePape’s hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Drop the hammer,” one officer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nope,” DePape replied before striking Pelosi multiple times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jurors heard from investigators and received transcripts of DePape’s testimony from his federal trial, where a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967595/david-depape-found-guilty-in-paul-pelosi-hammer-attack\">jury found him guilty in November\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maffei said DePape spent months planning a “rampage” with a list of targets and showed up to the Pelosi home “prepared for a lengthy standoff.” DePape wanted to confront Pelosi and interrogate her about “Russiagate,” an online conspiracy theory regarding the investigation into Russian interference in U.S. elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape brought a sledgehammer to then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home with one purpose, Maffei said: “He wanted to break her kneecaps, so she would be wheeled onto the floor of Congress.

Depending on how the state appellate court responds, the trial could be delayed even further. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorfman denied the defense’s request to dismiss two additional counts – first degree burglary and aggravated kidnapping – along with the rest of the charges. The defense plans to appeal the judge’s decision on the aggravated kidnapping charge, which carries a life sentence without the possibility of parole. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape, 44, still faces other state charges, including false imprisonment of an elder, threatening the family member of a public official and preventing or dissuading a witness by force or threat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape was convicted in federal court in November of attempting to kidnap former House speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulting her husband during a late-night home-invasion at the couple’s San Francisco home on Oct. 28, 2022. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='david-depape']Police body cam footage captured the graphic scene of DePape swinging a hammer at Paul Pelosi’s head right in front of San Francisco police officers who were responding to a 911 call Pelosi had managed to make from his bathroom. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987892/paul-pelosis-attacker-apologizes-at-resentencing-but-prison-term-is-unchanged\">sentenced to 30 years in federal prison\u003c/a> at a U.S. District Court hearing on May 28. The next day, his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11988131/prosecutors-defense-deliver-opening-statements-in-state-trial-of-man-who-attacked-paul-pelosi\">state trial in San Francisco Superior Court\u003c/a> began. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s attorneys moved to dismiss multiple charges last month, arguing that his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967595/david-depape-found-guilty-in-paul-pelosi-hammer-attack\">conviction in federal court\u003c/a> precludes prosecution for certain acts in state court because of California protections against double jeopardy. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their May 21 motion, defense attorneys cite two sections of the California 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>Because DePape was already convicted of assault and attempted kidnapping in federal court, California law bars his prosecution in state court for the same acts, they argued. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DePape’s federal convictions were based on precisely the same conduct that is charged in Counts I to IV: breaking into the Speaker’s home and striking Mr. Pelosi on the head with a hammer,” attorneys wrote. “Because DePape has now been convicted for those acts,” those sections of the law, “bar a retrial.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They went on: “DePape’s assault on Mr Pelosi with a hammer was an act of violence that shocked our country. 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\n",

U.S. District Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley issued an unchanged sentence after DePape spoke Tuesday, totaling 30 years in federal prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape had taken public transportation overnight from the East Bay to the Pelosis’ home in San Francisco’s Pacific Heights neighborhood, arriving in the early hours of Oct. 28, 2022. He broke into the home by repeatedly hitting a sliding glass door until it shattered, according to security camera video played during DePape’s federal trial that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967595/david-depape-found-guilty-in-paul-pelosi-hammer-attack\">ended with a guilty verdict\u003c/a> in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He awoke Paul Pelosi asking the now-infamous phrase, “Where’s Nancy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paul Pelosi managed to call 911 after DePape decided to wait with him for his wife to return home. When two officers confronted both men in the front doorway to the home, DePape suddenly turned and struck Paul Pelosi multiple times in the head with a hammer as the officers rushed in and eventually restrained him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DePape’s defense argued before sentencing that undiagnosed mental illness and a difficult relationship with the mother of his children had left the 44-year-old \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11966865/defense-focuses-on-conspiracy-theories-in-first-day-of-trial-over-attempted-nancy-pelosi-kidnapping\">vulnerable to conspiracy theories\u003c/a> that he consumed with increasing frequency in online videos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time he launched his \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11967247/david-depape-on-witness-stand-details-grand-plan-to-violently-interrogate-nancy-pelosi\">plan to kidnap then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi\u003c/a>, DePape was obsessed with exposing what he believed was a cabal of politicians promoting child abuse and corruption. Among his other targets: actor Tom Hanks, Rep. Adam Schiff, former Vice President Mike Pence and the president’s son Hunter Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"david-depape\"]Corley apologized to DePape at the beginning of his “reopened” sentencing hearing on Tuesday for neglecting to ask him to make a statement when she initially sentenced him on May 17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m truly sorry for my mistake,” Corley said from the bench. But she denied a defense motion to assign DePape’s sentencing to another judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After DePape’s statement, the judge reiterated the seriousness of his crimes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You can’t break into the speaker of the House’s home,” Corley said. “It’s hard to overstate the seriousness of that and the damage it has caused.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sentencing do-over in federal court has affected scheduling for the beginning of a second trial for DePape on state-level charges, including attempted murder and aggravated kidnapping, which carries a potential life sentence without the possibility of parole. Opening statements in that case were initially set to begin by Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, a San Francisco Superior Court judge heard this morning from DePape’s local public defenders, who argue that California-specific protections against double jeopardy \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11987752/depape-faces-new-state-charges-defense-argues-double-jeopardy\">require several charges be dismissed\u003c/a> following his federal conviction. The judge declined to rule on the motion, saying he’ll wait for local prosecutors to present their case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alex Hall of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",
