A trial date has been set in federal court for the man charged with the attack on Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.
According to the government, Paul Pelosi is scheduled to testify during the second week of the trial on Nov. 13. The trial will begin with opening statements on Nov. 9.
On Wednesday, David DePape’s defense team requested access into the Pelosi’s home to take photos, measurements, and conduct a walkthrough of the premises before the trial. DePape was present in federal court with his ankles shackled, dressed in his orange sweat suit.
Federal District Court Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley asked the defense why taking additional photos was necessary given the large amount of evidence already released in the case.
The defense argued the body camera footage and crime scene photos provided during discovery aren’t sufficient enough to time out what happened inside the Pelosi home before police arrived. The attorney’s added any additional access would help prepare them for Mr. Pelosi to take the stand.
