Federal prosecutors have asked for a 40-year sentence for the man convicted of attacking the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) with a hammer, arguing that his crimes amount to terrorism and his punishment should be more severe than standard guidelines would call for.
A sentencing memorandum, filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on May 10, indicates that David DePape has not shown any remorse and deserves no leniency for the two crimes that he was convicted of last year—attempted kidnapping and assault on account of a federal official’s performance of official duties.
