State charges included kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of husband of Nancy Pelosi

The man who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attacking the husband of Nancy Pelosi with a hammer in their California home was sentenced on Tuesday to life in prison without the possibility of parole following a separate state trial.

A San Francisco jury in June found David DePape guilty of charges including aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary and false imprisonment of an elder.

Before issuing the sentence, Judge Harry Dorfman dismissed arguments from DePape’s attorneys that he be granted a new trial for the 2022 attack against Paul Pelosi, who was 82 years old at the time.

“It’s my intention that Mr DePape will never get out of prison, he can never be paroled,” Dorfman said while handing out the punishment.

    I’m not capable of raping people. I’m not capable of murdering someone for the insurance money. I’m not capable of organizing the liquidation of millions of people. The people that are capable of such acts are inherently evil pieces of shit. Being able to understand that such acts can only be committed by individuals who are morally evil doesn’t make me vulnerable to labeling innocent groups evil because I have a functioning brain.
