David DePape was sentenced to life in prison without parole for assaulting Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He was convicted in both state and federal trials for charges including aggravated kidnapping and assault. The attack, which occurred on October 28, 2022, left Paul Pelosi with serious injuries. Both trials emphasized the severity of political violence and its implications for democracy. Paul Pelosi and his family expressed relief at the sentencing, describing it as a form of legal justice against political violence. DePape's defense plans to appeal the ruling.
