The man convicted in the 2022 hammer attack on Paul Pelosi apologized and was again sentenced to 30 years in prison Tuesday, as the sentencing hearing in his case was reopened due to a court error.

David DePape received the sentence, identical to the one he received earlier this month, after being found guilty of assaulting the husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi in their San Francisco home. DePape was convicted of assault and attempted kidnapping charges in November.

The hearing was reopened after the judge overseeing the trial made an error during the May 17 sentencing when she did not give DePape the opportunity to make a statement before sentencing.
