Request to Reopen Sentencing for Paul Pelosi’s Attacker to Speak

The Request for Reopening the Sentencing

Federal prosecutors made a request to the judge handling the case of the man who was convicted of violently attacking Nancy Pelosi’s husband. They highlighted that the attacker, David DePape, was not given a fair opportunity to speak during the sentencing phase. This plea for reconsideration was made following DePape’s sentencing to a 30-year prison term for assaulting Paul Pelosi.

The Background of the Case

David DePape, aged 44, was found guilty of two federal charges related to the assault on Paul Pelosi. The incident occurred in October 2022 when DePape forcibly entered the Pelosi residence and attacked Paul Pelosi, who was 82 years old at the time, with a hammer. The culmination of these events led to DePape’s conviction and subsequent lengthy prison sentence.
