The man who attacked former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer has been convicted on five state charges.

A state jury in San Francisco found David DePape, 44, guilty of first-degree burglary, false imprisonment, threatening a family member of a public official, aggravated kidnapping, and preventing or dissuading a witness by force or threat.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Jurors began deliberations on the afternoon of June 18 and reached their verdict June 21.

The judge in the case previously dismissed three other charges against Mr. DePape. The charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and elder abuse were dropped after his defense team claimed double jeopardy because the defendant was already convicted in federal court last November.

He was charged with assault on the immediate family member of a federal official and attempted kidnapping of a federal official.

He was sentenced to 30 years in the federal case.

The October 2022 attack was recorded on police body camera and eventually released to the public.

The footage showed the defendant inside the couple’s San Francisco home after he broke in. Mr. DePape and Mr. Pelosi appeared to be fighting for control of the hammer. Officers demanded Mr. DePape immediately drop the weapon, but he hit the victim in the head instead, the footage showed.

The former House Speaker was in Washington, D.C., at the time. The attack happened just days before the midterm election.
