CNN —A jury has found David DePape guilty on two counts in the violent attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, last year in the couple’s San Francisco home.
Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi ultimately factored the attack into her decision to step down from her leadership post.
DePape recalled that he was focused on Nancy Pelosi and that her husband, Paul, was not on his list of targets.
He later came to in a pool of blood after being violently struck in the head following a struggle with DePape, Pelosi said.
A state case against DePape that includes charges of attempted murder, burglary and assault is expected to go to trial later this month.
