  1. #DavidDePape's trial should be a lesson to everyone: no court is going to decide that now that they've heard your manifesto, you were justified in nearly beating an 80-year-old man to death.
    He thought what he did would sound reasonable once he explained his plan to injure or kill many more people. Think about how far gone you have to be to think that makes sense.
    & his lawyer thinking showing how much DePape believed in what he was doing would help: many serial killers see themselves similarly

  2. "[DePape] told jurors he believed news outlets repeatedly lied about former President Donald Trump. In rants posted on a blog and online forum that were taken down after his arrest, DePape echoed the baseless, right-wing QAnon conspiracy theory that claims the U.S. government is run by a cabal of devil-worshipping pedophiles."

  6. Holy shit, #DavidDepape will end up in prison for the rest of his life. His defense is insisting that the conspiracy theory that drove him to the attack is true.
    So let's back up: you admit you attacked a defenseless man with a hammer and intended to attack more.(which there's eyewitness and video evidence of anyway) You do realize that's already illegal enough. You're toast, you fucking lunatic, and good.

  7. #PaulPelosi attacker says, 'I'm sorry I didn't get more of them,' in odd call from jail

    Shortly after footage was released, #DavidDePape phoned in to the KTVU newsroom from jail. In the chilling call, DePape boasted about his actions during the attack, and expressed the wish that he would have "been more prepared."

    "Now that you all have seen the body cam footage, I have an important message for everyone in America," DePape said in the call. "You're welcome."

  8. Court releases video of attack on #PaulPelosi

    One of the videos shows body-cam footage from officers who arrived at Pelosi's home on Oct 28, 2022, when he was attacked. The footage shows the chaos of the moment in which alleged assailant #DavidDePape attacked.

    The graphic & violent video shows Pelosi and DePape both a hand on the hammer and DePape holding Pelosi's arm when the officers opened the door.

    "Drop the hammer," the officer says.

    “Uh, nope,” DePape responds.
