SAN FRANCISCO - A federal judge on Friday sentenced David DePape, the man convicted of breaking into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco and attacking her husband, Paul, with a hammer, to 30 years in prison.

Before U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley handed down her decision, Nancy Pelosi asked the judge for a "very long" sentence.

"The Pelosi family couldn’t be prouder of their Pop and his tremendous courage in saving his own life on the night of the attack and in testifying in this case," Nancy Pelosi said in a statement afterward, adding that she wouldn't be commenting further.

Prosecutors had asked that DePape spend 40 years behind bars, saying that he had failed to take responsibility for his crimes and had not shown remorse. They also argued that his violent plot amounted to terrorism.

SAN FRANCISCO - A federal judge on Friday sentenced David DePape, the man convicted of breaking into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco and attacking her husband, Paul, with a hammer, to 30 years in prison.

Prosecutors had asked that DePape spend 40 years behind bars, saying that he had failed to take responsibility for his crimes and has not shown remorse. They also argude that his violent plot amounted to terrorism.

Prosecutors specifically pointed to a January 2023 phone call to KTVU reporter Amber Lee, during which he apologized to the American people, saying he should have come "better prepared" to the Pelosis’ home on the night of the attack.

"You’re welcome," he told the TV station. "The tree of liberty isn’t dying. It’s being killed, systematically and deliberately." He added, "The tree of liberty needs watering."

4. I'm glad he got 30 but he should have gotten 40 based on his sadistic comment.

5. Oh good, he is facing state charges with a trial beginning on May 22nd.

Mr. DePape also faces separate state charges stemming from the attack, including attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon and elder abuse. Jury selection for his state trial is scheduled to begin on May 22.

6. Too bad they closed The Rock

7. David, if you were the son of a conservative activist

your sentence would have been cut down to less than 10 years.

[onenote]

10. You think a Biden judge would do that?

[Fudster]

8. . Oh no,

Oh no, another hostage taken!

[Hekate]

9. I hope he serves every miserable day of it. Paul Pelosi is "still healing" 18 months later...

That should tell us it was a very severe head injury

[Aussie105]

11. All the best to Paul Pelosi. Us older people take a long time to heal.

Hopefully David DePape gets a psych evaluation in jail and declared unfit for rehabilitation so that his sentence effectively ends when he dies.

'Tree of Liberty needs watering'? And he based his violent behavior in such an abstract idea?
