Federal prosecutors in Pelosi home attack have found ‘substantial’ evidence against accused man
Federal prosecutors on Wednesday said they’ve discovered “substantial” evidence against the man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in October.
During a roughly 10 minute status hearing at the San Francisco federal courthouse, the government’s attorney Laura Horn said prosecutors would be producing additional evidence by the end of the year, though she did not elaborate on what exactly has been unearthed against David DePape, 42.U.S. District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley also asked Horn how the federal and state government were collaborating on the two concurrent cases.
DePape sat quietly at Wednesday’s hearing near his court-appointed public defenders Angela Chuang and Jodi Linker, wearing a full orange jumpsuit and matching orange sneakers. His long, light brown hair obscured part of the sides of his face. The federal charges against him include one count of assault upon a family member of a United States official, as well as a kidnapping charge. If convicted, he faces imprisonment of up to a combined 50 years.
Associates of DePape have previously said that he had taken an interest in recent years in right-wing conspiracy theories — and DePape’s defense attorney for the state charges said “vulnerability to political misinformation” could become part of the case.
