David Wayne DePape, 43, broke into Pelosi's San Francisco home and used a hammer to hit Paul Pelosi in the head in the early morning of October 28, 2022, while Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives at the time, was on a business trip in Washington.

A San Francisco jury found DePape guilty of conspiracy to kidnap and assault a family member of a federal official, according to a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's office.

The charges carry potential prison sentences of 20 and 30 years, respectively. DePape also faces other charges including conspiracy to commit murder in California state court, which carry potential sentences of 13 years to life in prison.

Nancy Pelosi released a statement on behalf of the family thanking everyone for their support and saying her husband is continuing to make progress in his recovery.

During the incident, Mr. Paul Pelosi was knocked unconscious and had to be hospitalized for several days for surgery on a fractured skull. He also suffered injuries to his right hand and arm.

DePape told the jury he wanted to kidnap Nancy Pelosi. But after breaking into the home, he found her husband, who was 82 and asleep in bed.
