Suspect in Paul Pelosi attack pleads not guilty to state charges
Source: ABC News
David DePape, the man accused of attacking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband with a hammer at their San Francisco Home, pleaded not guilty to state charges on Wednesday. The arraignment in San Francisco Superior Court comes two weeks after a judge ruled that DePape will face trial for the October attack.
DePape, 42, waived his right to a speedy trial. He will be back in court on Feb. 23 to set his trial date. DePape faces multiple state charges, including attempted murder, residential burglary and assault with a deadly weapon.
During an initial arraignment in November, DePape pleaded not guilty to the charges through his public defender and denied all allegations. DePape also faces federal charges of assault and attempted kidnapping. He pleaded not guilty to those charges last month and remains held without bail.
DePape is accused of using a hammer to break into the Pelosi residence in the upscale Pacific Heights neighborhood of San Francisco just before 2 a.m. local time on Oct. 28. The intruder then went upstairs, where 82-year-old Paul Pelosi was asleep, and demanded to talk to "Nancy," according to the federal complaint.
