Federal prosecutors request 40-year sentence for man who attacked Pelosi's husband with hammer

Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to impose a 40-year prison sentence for the man who broke into former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco home seeking to hold her hostage and attacked her husband with a hammer. The San Francisco Chronicle reported late Friday that prosecutors made the request ahead of a sentencing hearing for David DePape, saying he has not shown remorse for the October 2022 attack. “There is nothing about the history and characteristics of the defendant that warrant leniency,” federal prosecutors wrote in court documents.
