A judge has dismissed several state charges, including attempted murder, against the man who attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. The dismissal was based on the argument that the counts fall under double jeopardy, according to the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office. The attacker, who broke into Nancy Pelosi’s house in 2022 and bludgeoned Paul Pelosi with a hammer, fracturing his skull, still faces life in prison if convicted on remaining charges.
