David DePape, the man previously convicted in federal court for attacking Paul Pelosi, has been found guilty on five felonies in his state trial. The charges include aggravated kidnapping and first-degree assault. The jury reached its verdict on Friday in San Francisco, concluding deliberations that began earlier in the week. DePape, who attacked Pelosi with a hammer in his San Francisco home in 2022, was already sentenced to 30 years in federal prison last month. The state conviction could result in a life sentence without the possibility of parole. This case has drawn significant attention due to the high-profile nature of the victim, Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
