A federal jury on Thursday reached a verdict in the trial of the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi, husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., with a hammer during a break-in at the couple's San Francisco home.
David DePape took the stand Tuesday morning in his federal trial and tearfully recounted his motivations - fueled by conspiracy theories and right-wing media - that led to the bludgeoning of Paul Pelosi, husband of then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, at their San Francisco mansion last year.
The man who broke into former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's home last year unexpectedly testified in his own defense Tuesday, delivering rambling explanations for the hammer attack on her husband — an act he said he now regrets because they had "a good rapport."
