David DePape, the man convicted of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, has been resentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison after a federal judge told him she was “truly sorry” for not allowing him to speak during his first sentencing hearing.
David DePape, the man convicted of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer, has been resentenced Tuesday to 30 years in prison after a federal judge told him she was “truly sorry” for not allowing him to speak during his first sentencing hearing.
DePape was brought back to district court in San Francisco after Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley wrote in a filing that it was a “clear error” on her part not to allow DePape a chance to make a statement on May 17 before being sentenced as required by law.
“I’m truly sorry for my mistake,” Corley told DePape and his attorneys before the 44-year-old broke down while reading a prepared statement from a sheet of paper.
