The man who was convicted in the 2022 attack on the husband of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole Tuesday following his state trial.
DePape’s early morning break-in at the Pelosi home almost exactly two years ago on October 28, 2022 – just days before the 2022 midterm elections – sent shockwaves through the United States and was attributed to the predictable effects of increasingly demonizing political rhetoric.
The attack on then-82-year-old Paul Pelosi was captured on police bodycam video after officers responded to his 911 call and found him struggling with DePape, who then bludgeoned Pelosi with a hammer.
The life sentence on state charges is on top of the 30-year sentence DePape received for his federal conviction.
Canadian system is a disgrace.I say this as a Canadian but you can murder someone and if you use a car as your weapon you’re only getting a few years . You can even murder and cannibalize a stranger in front of dozens, and you’ll be off Scot free with a promise you’ll take your meds.
If you want even less punishment, just say you were drunk while driving.
If you want none at all, wait for your victim to ride a bicycle, then claim they “came out of nowhere”.
