react very much as the judge handed down that 30 year sentence. inside san francisco's federal court building, u.s. district judge jacqueline scott corley handed down a 30 year sentence for david depape following his november conviction. christine pelosi, daughter of nancy and paul, read statements from both parents describing the impact the attack had on the pelosi family. paul pelosi saying, quote, ever since the defendant violently broke into my home and woke me up yelling where's nancy? at 2 a.m. on october 28th, 2022. my life has been irrevocably changed. the pap's attorneys asked the judge for 14 years. prosecutors asked for 40. the judge said depape didn't express remorse for trying to kidnap the former speaker, and also said she had to weigh the impact depapes actions will have on discouraging potential future politicians from ever entering public service because they're worried about the safety of their families. christine pelosi read a statement from her mother as well. the former of the speaker house, saying, quote, it

is therefore necessary that the guilty party sentence be very long as punishment for the attack and the injuries, paul continues to suffer and as a deterrent to others considering violence against public officials. ultimately, the judge sentenced apap to 360 months in prison, -18 months for the time he's already served. the u.s. attorney for the northern district of california, ismael ramsey, issued a statement read by a spokesperson outside of the court today. today's sentence reflects david depapes lack of remorse and contrition for violently assaulting mr. pelosi. >> the court's sentence will ensure that the pop will not be able to use violence to pollute the political process. >> the fbi also said the sentence should be lengthy. >> the brutal attack on paul pelosi in his home was not only an attack on an individual, but an assault on the very principles and safety and civility that formed the bedrock of our democracy. >> depapes family was at the courthouse today. his son speaking out after the sentence.

>> i think that's quite sad, i think that's a really long time, because if you think about it right, he's already nearly 50. he's he's basically it's just a death sentence. >> depape still faces trial in san francisco superior court. that's the criminal court here that is set to get underway next week. if he is convicted in san francisco superior court, his state sentence would run concurrently with his federal sentence. again, he's looking at 30 years, minus those 18 months in federal prison. we're live in san francisco, christien kafton, ktvu, fox two news. >> i'm sure a lot of relief for the pelosi family. christian in san francisco. thank you for that report. >> new at five tonight, a man charged with murdering two women in san lorenzo has been extradited back here to the bay area after he was arrested in kansas. howard reed was arraigned in a dublin court today. prosecutors have charged him with double murder in the

university to explain why this response here was so different compared to the other group protesting at sproul plaza, uc berkeley students say on campus, there has been a lot of talk about these recent protests. >> it's all over instagram, all over social media platforms. >> the lawn outside the uc berkeley building on channing way was clear friday after university workers cleared the lawn of the tents, signs and barriers that had been erected by protesters earlier in the week. overnight, uc berkeley police, along with officers from 20 different law enforcement agencies from foster city up to fairfield, were called in to remove the encampment. 12 protesters were arrested as police and riot gear erected barricades surrounding the protest site to keep other protesters from entering the area. a uc berkeley spokesman says police removed protesters from the building that had been vacant for several years. >> what happened at anna head was, from the very beginning, a criminal act. they broke into a

building, they vandalized the building, they trespassed on university property. >> on friday, the university says only one person was confirmed to be a uc berkeley student. four were berkeley residents, two were from the greater bay area, one is from colorado, and four others have refused to say their identity. so alameda county sheriff's office is investigating. the university says the law enforcement response was different from the resolution, with antiwar protesters in a different group at the sproul plaza encampment because those protesters did not break the law. >> we have always at uc berkeley responded differently to criminal activity than we have to violation of campus policies. >> some neighbors said they do not approve of people outside the community coming onto campus property, but others say they don't agree with the police response. when the protest had seemed peaceful. >> i don't think that police action among younger students, or just people of any sort, is necessary during demonstration of activism.

>> some people are taking this time and platform to speak up for their values, and that's something that berkeley prides itself on. so, you know, i'm here to support it in comparison to other college campuses and stuff. >> i do think that our protests have been a lot more peaceful, which is why we've all been pretty supportive of it. >> uc berkeley says the people were arrested on charges including vandalism, burglary and conspiracy. they say that no one was injured overnight during the arrests. >> christina. well, janet, what are the next steps for those people who are arrested? >> well, once they file their reports with the district attorney, it's really up to the alameda county district attorney as to whether she decides she wants to file the charges. i did put in a call to her office today. so far, we have not received any response. >> jana katsuyama live in berkeley tonight. jana. thank you. >> meantime, trucks carrying humanitarian aid for the gaza strip have crossed over a pier built by american troops. all
