A new judge will be taking over the criminal case against David DePape, the man facing attempted murder and other state charges in connection with the attack against Paul Pelosi in San Francisco last month.
Prosecutors and DePape’s public defender met for a status hearing on Monday where it was announced that San Francisco County Superior Court Judge Stephen Murphy would be taking over the case, said Randy Quezada, communications director for the San Francisco district attorney’s office.
“The case was assigned a new judge ... which is customarily what happens as cases proceed toward trial — cases often have a different judge for preliminary hearings and trials than they do for arraignments,” Seyfer said.Federal grand jury indictment reveals new details in attack on Paul Pelosi In a statement earlier Monday, Dist. Atty. Brooke Jenkins said DePape’s preliminary hearing was confirmed for Dec. 14.
Preliminary hearings are held so a judge can determine whether there is enough evidence against a defendant for the case to proceed to trial,DePape, 42, faces charges of attempted murder, first-degree residential burglary, elder abuse, assault with a deadly weapon and threatening family members of public officials, Jenkins said.
