Nancy Pelosi’s Husband’s Hammer Attacker Demands New Trial

“The Court must therefore grant Mr. DePape a new trial based on this reversible instructional error, which violated Mr. DePape’s constitutional right to present a defense,” his court-appointed public defender Jodi Linker stated in the 13-page motion.

“[DePape] argued that he did not intend to kidnap Ms. Pelosi on account of the performance of her official duties, and that he did not assault Mr. Pelosi with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with Ms. Pelosi while she was engaged in the performance of her official duties, or with intent to retaliate against her on account of the performance of her official duties.”

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, the 42-year-old conspiracy theorist broke into the House Speaker’s Richmond, California mansion in 2002 and viciously attacked Paul Pelosi, 83, after learning the then-House Speaker was not home.
