A federal judge denied a motion to move the trial of a man charged in last year’s attack against former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband.
PUBLISHED 5:38 AM PDT Jul. 19, 2023SAN FRANCISCO — A federal judge on Wednesday denied a motion to move the trial of a man charged in last year’s attack against former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband out of San Francisco, saying she wasn't convinced the court wouldn't be able to find impartial and fair jurors in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley pointed out that the case received national attention and that the defense survey also showed many people in Eureka are also familiar with the details of the case. “I agree with you that to ensure Mr. DePape has an impartial jury, we are going to have to pull a lot of jurors and make sure we question them,” Scott Corley said.
Prosecutors say DePape broke into the Pelosis’ San Francisco home on Oct. 28 seeking to kidnap the former speaker — who was out of town — and instead beat her 83-year-old husband, Paul, with a hammer. The violence sent shockwaves through the political world.
