A California judge has sentenced the man who was convicted of attacking the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a hammer in 2022 to life in prison without parole.

In June, a San Francisco jury found David DePape guilty of aggravated kidnapping, first-degree burglary, and false imprisonment of an elder.
