The man who was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for attacking the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a hammer in their California home has been given a life term without the possibility of parole following a separate state trial.

I know I’m about 9 days behind on this but how much do you want to bet that Trump pardons him on the Federal charges?

    Trump will pardon him and give him one of the purple hearts that those senile Vietnam War vets gave him.

    insane punishment. life without parole??? I wonder if he can get that reevaluated at some point, especially give he’s some right-wing white shmuck.

    In a letter read in court by the victim’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, Paul Pelosi called for the maximum sentence, saying the “last peaceful sleep” he had ended abruptly “when the defendant violently broke into my home, burst into my bedroom and stood over my bed with a hammer and zip ties demanding to see my wife, yelling ‘Where’s Nancy?’”

    In a statement after Tuesday’s sentencing, the Pelosi family said that after a grueling two years, “legal justice has been served.” “Today’s sentence of life without parole gives our Pop some measure of legal justice and, we hope, a message to others that political violence against elected officials or their family members will not be tolerated, minimized or condoned,” the statement said. “We must each do our part to build a peaceful democracy.”

    lol politicians and their families are psychopaths. Paul Pelosi got some nerve damage and they’re like “we’re so glad he got life in prison”. And creepy vibe from “peaceful democracy” requiring sentencing people to life.

    Nancy Pelosi has so much blood on her hands as a high ranking American politician. Oceans more blood than presumably the small and literal amount that the attacker got on himself.
