“This case here is about the why — the why matters,” Linker had argued to the jury.
“This case is about whether David acted because of, on account of, Nancy Pelosi’s duties as a member of Congress.
He didn’t, and he only struck Paul Pelosi in a quick moment of despair because the police arrived and his larger plan was thwarted.”CNN has reached out to Linker for comment.
In his testimony, Paul Pelosi recounted how he awoke the night of the attack to see a man with a hammer in his home.
He later came to in a pool of blood after being violently struck in the head following a struggle with DePape, Pelosi said.
