Paul Pelosi hammer attacker David DePape receives maximum sentence of 30 years in prison

Paul Pelosi hammer attacker David DePape was sentenced to 30 years in prison
By Chris Pandolfo , Danielle Wallace Fox News

Published May 17, 2024 2:07pm EDT | Updated May 17, 2024 2:55pm EDT

David DePape, the man convicted of a brutal hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, husband to former House Speaker and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, at the couple's California home, received a sentence of 30 years in prison on Friday.

"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. Speaker Pelosi and her family are immensely grateful to all who have sent love and prayers over the last eighteen months, as Mr. Pelosi continues his recovery," the statement read.

DePape was convicted last year of attempted kidnapping of a federal official and assault on the immediate family member of a federal official. Prosecutors had asked Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley for a 40-year prison term.

In a written victim impact statement, Paul Pelosi said his life has been "irrevocably changed" since the attack.

"My head injuries continue to affect my life. My hair grew back — but I have bumps on my head from the hammer blows and a metal plate from skull surgery," Pelosi wrote. "The dizziness has not gone away."

DePape was sentenced to the maximum 30 years on one count and 20 on a second, which are to be served concurrently. DePape gave no reaction as the judge read his sentence. A victim impact statement was read in court by Christine Pelosi, the couple's daughter.

"Today's sentence reflects David DaPape's lack of remorse and contrition for violently assaulting Mr. Pelosi," U.S. Attorney Ismail Ramsey said in a statement. "The court's sentence will ensure that DePape will not be able to use violence to pollute the political process."

Rep. Pelosi is in Washington, D.C. and did not attend the sentencing. The Pelosi family released a brief statement after the sentence was handed down.

This seems fair. I don't care who he was going after or why. Has it even been proven he was an "invitee"? And even if he was??

David DePape was sentenced Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole in the state trial over the hammer attack against Paul Pelosi.

A jury found DePape guilty in June of false imprisonment of an elder by violence or menace, residential burglary, threatening a family member of a public official, dissuading a witness by force or threat and aggravated kidnapping. ...

DePape was also sentenced to 30 years in prison in May in the federal case, in which he was convicted of seeking to hold former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi hostage and attacking her husband with a hammer. ...

No, nobody ever went back and pulled on that particular thread about why Paul Pelosi had this guy in his house in the first place.

I understand the assault charge, where did the kidnapping come from.

If he previously had a 30 year sentence, why was he free as a bird? Seems that's the real problem here.

Of course he got the max, he attacked a democrat. If it had been a republican, he would of been given a drug rehabilitation sentence in California with no follow-up.

Ummmm How did the guy end up there in his skivvies?
Was this an arranged meet that went badly?
Was the hammer used in self defense?
I don't know, but the whole thing stunk (stank?) from the start.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.
