The intruder who allegedly beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer at their San Francisco home last week was charged in California with attempted murder on top of federal crimes.
The state charges against David DePape, 42, including residential burglary, false imprisonment of an elder and threatening a public official’s family member, were unveiled Monday in a criminal complaint by San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins hours after the US Justice Department accused him of attempted kidnapping and assault. DePape faces decades in prison in both cases if convicted.
