San Francisco Superior Court Judge Stephen Murphy ruled there is sufficient evidence for DePape to go to trial. DePape will be arraigned on Dec. 28. Adam Lipson, DePape's lawyer, told reporters after the hearing the ruling was expected and that"we will be fighting this case in court and not in the hallway."
Police Lt. Carla Hurley interviewed DePape at San Francisco General Hospital the day of the attack and he was recorded saying: "I'm not trying to get away with this. I know what I did." If the U.S. president and the vice president become unable to serve, the speaker of the U.S. House assumes the presidency.
DePape said in Hurley's audio interview played during the hearing that he was going to tie up Paul Pelosi and wait until the speaker came home. DePape said if Nancy Pelosi told him the"truth," he would let her go, but if she"lied," he was going to"break her kneecaps," according to Hurley.
