DePape definitely needs to serve time, maybe a year or two. How does this event justify a 40 year sentence? Because it's Nancy Pelosi's husband? There are rapists, killers, and pedophiles who don't get that much time.

Attempted murder sounds pretty serious to me. If someone tried to kill Trump would you say 1-2 years is enough? I wouldn't.DePape definitely needs to serve time, maybe a year or two.

True. When I first watched the event, I thought that was at least 5 to 7. Of course, that was after I got over the, "That guy needs a trophy" reaction.It’s inappropriate posturing by the DOJ.
Yes, I saw what he did (from the perspective of the police body cam), and I agree he should have been convicted and shouldn’t time in prison. He could have easily killed Mr. Pelosi with his vile actions.
Maybe two years isn’t enough. But for sure certain, 40 years is ridiculous.
Even 10 sounds like a lot.

I'd bet prosecutors routinely ask for the maximum possible sentence. Negotiations 101.Are you implying that attempted murderers routinely get sentenced to 40 years?

Nobody should be allowed to do what DePape did with impunity and it is good that he will serve prison time for doing it. I agree that 40 years in absolutely inconsistent for a crime that there is no evidence there was any intent to kill or even seriously injure the other person. The usual penalty for a crime such as Depape committed according to Findlaw is two to twenty years.DePape definitely needs to serve time, maybe a year or two.

My first thought was similar to this. But the man attacked the home of the Speaker of the House. He was serious about hurting, maiming, or even killing her.DePape definitely needs to serve time, maybe a year or two. How does this event justify a 40 year sentence?

Did you support Hinkley getting out early?It’s inappropriate posturing by the DOJ.

Attempted murders of Speakers of the House? The Speaker of the House is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President.Are you implying that attempted murderers routinely get sentenced to 40 years?

I’m not shedding a tear for this guy, but what’s the difference with his target being speaker of the house or a cab driver?The Speaker of the House is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President.
the context of why the sentence is not unfair.
So, in your ongoing pretend “analysis,” the situation of an attempted assassin who was found not responsible due to his mental illness is somehow akin to what a convicted assaulter should get for his criminal conviction.The Speaker of the House is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President.

If you don't realize the difference, you are in serious need of a lobotomy. The Speaker of the House is second in line to succeed the President, after the Vice President. Which is why the sentence is so harsh.I’m not shedding a tear for this guy, but what’s the difference with his target being speaker of the house or a cab driver?
