Man who attacked Paul Pelosi with hammer to spend 30 years in prison after Nancy lobbied for 'very long' sentence

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : Meanwhile, despite Paul Pelosi's testimony and his own letter submitted to the judge recounting the events of the Oct. 28, 2022 incident, asking her to consider "the premeditated kidnapping of my wife, the vicious assault on my life, and the ongoing physical and mental injuries caused by the defendant and sentence him to the fullest extent the law provides," the congresswoman had claimed in her own letter that she and her husband "have not discussed the events of that horrible night...""Paul doesn't want to undergo revisiting it, and the doctors' advice is that discussing the vicious assault would only renew his trauma," wrote Pelosi.
43% : While short of the 40-year sentence the prosecution had sought with a terrorism enhancement, Corley sentenced DePape to concurrent prison terms of 20 years for attempted kidnapping and 30 years for assault with an 18-month credit for time spent in custody, the maximum for the crimes committed.
