The alleged attacker of House Speaker Pelosi’s husband pleaded not guilty in San Francisco Superior Court on Tuesday.
Local prosecutor Phoebe Maffei argued that 42-year-old suspect and Richmond resident, David DePape—who allegedly attacked Paul Pelosi with a hammer on Oct. 28—should remain in jail without bail, saying that he was a threat to the public.
DePape was also served a protective order requiring him to stay away from the speaker and her husband. He appeared with his arm in a sling, wearing an orange jumpsuit.
