Robert GrahamA San Francisco Superior Court judge on Thursday dismissed several charges against David DePape, the man already convicted in federal court of bludgeoning Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer inside their home.
The judge presiding over the state case dismissed attempted murder, elder abuse, and assault with a deadly weapon charges against 44-year-old DePape. He still faces charges of residential burglary, false imprisonment, threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official, and threatening the staff or family of a public official. He previously pleaded not guilty to the charges stemming from the Oct. 28, 2022, attack on Paul Pelosi.
