Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is asking the court for a "very long" sentence for the man who attacked her husband in their home over a year ago, and Paul Pelosi says he's still suffering dizziness, headaches, balance problems, nerve pain and walking challenges after being struck by David DePape with a hammer.
Paul Pelosi revealed his ongoing health problems in a letter to a federal judge Friday before the sentencing of DePape, who was convicted last November of attacking Paul Pelosi with a hammer in October 2022.
"I walk slowly and have difficulty with my balance. Nearly every day I get headaches that become migraines unless quickly addressed," Paul Pelosi wrote. "I need to sleep during the day and cannot tolerate bright lights or loud noises for extended periods of time."
