David DePape was convicted last month of assaulting a federal official’s family member and attempting to kidnap a federal official. He was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison. He will likely be deported back to Canada after he completes his punishment.
State prosecutors continued to pursue their own case against DePape,
Why did this man attack Pelosi's husband? Why there is a need for more prosecution that seems to be double jeopardy?
