Robert GrahamA federal judge on Friday is scheduled to sentence David DePape, the man convicted of breaking into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San Francisco and attacking her husband, Paul, with a hammer.
The sentencing hearing in the courtroom of U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley is set to begin at 10 a.m.
Prosecutors have asked that DePape spend 40 years behind bars, saying that he had failed to take responsibility for his crimes and has not shown remorse. They also argue that his violent plot amounted to terrorism.
Prosecutors specifically pointed to a January 2023 phone call to KTVU reporter Amber Lee, during which he apologized to the American people, saying he should have come "better prepared" to the Pelosis’ home on the night of the attack.
