The body cam video of the #PaulPelosi attack got me thinking about how the proliferation of video evidence has impacted the criminal justice system. When I started as a criminal defense attorney 15 years ago, most cases had 0 videos. My how that’s changed. 🧵
Interrogations weren't routinely recorded when I started as a public defender in '07. I had clients who denied confessing yet plead out bc it’d be their word against the cop’s at trial. I was relieved when interrogation videos became norm bc you could see what was said. /2
Patrol car cameras came next, providing an audio recording of police encounters with the defendant, the accuser and others (video of it too if they were standing in front of patrol car). This gave us a much fuller picture of events than the narrative in the police report. /3

2/ We were the first today to obtain the video & audio evidence used in the criminal case against David DePape. Now that it's out, let's talk about all that we know regarding that gruesome attack against Paul Pelosi, husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

3/ Paul Pelosi immediately feel to the floor after getting hit in the head w/ hammer.

He "remained unresponsive for about 3 minutes, waking up in a pool of his own blood," according to DA's Office.

He underwent surgery to repair skull fracture, injuries to right arm / hands.

Just got off the phone with SF Superior Court Clerk's office. They were instructed not to answer any media questions about #PaulPelosi footage and when it will be released. They sent me to media guy who didn't return my call until I left a message saying:
"Now I want a quote from the Clerk about why you're not answering media about when you will comply with a court order to release this footage." Suddenly, I got a response. And it's dumber than you can imagine. They claim they are copying CDs
They "cannot" make the footage available online, they say. They can't even take a request for the footage digitally. You have to fill out a form and hand deliver it. With $25 of course. I'd be happy to pay them more if they'd put it on a damn drive. It's 2023.

I’m inside the San Francisco courtroom for David DeDape’s preliminary hearing - the man accused of breaking into Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home and beating her husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer.

#Here’s what he’s facing:
2/ David DePape is in the courtroom in an orange jumpsuit, with long hair down to his shoulders.

They just played the 911 call made by Paul Pelosi the night of the attack.

3/

***911 call***

Pelosi: I got a problem but he thinks everything is good…

This gentlemen came into my house and he wants to wait for my wife…

He told me not to do anything…

He’s telling me to put the phone down and do what he says…

I find it rather interesting that everything and anything connected to #DavidDepape is gone. I read an article that said he had a blog. archive.ph/AJCRs
According to the archived site the website was archived Oct 28th 2022 at 5:55 p.m according to the police report the incident happened at 2:27 a.m. ImageImage
Within hours all of his social media were gone. One of the changes to the site was on Oct 28th at 5:25 p.m just min before it was deleted and archived. Why did the site need to be changed min before it was deleted?

Haven't heard anybody discuss perhaps the most suspicious aspect of the #PaulPelosi case: the time of the alleged attack. Pelosi called the cops around 2:30 in the morning. Let's examine the two theories and see how the time of the attacks fits into each /1
Theory #1: an affair gone bad

Nothing is odd about the time of night- this is when we might expect something like this to happen /2
Theory #2: violent break in

In this case, it is a near certainty that Paul Pelosi would be SLEEPING when the break in occurred. Imagine you are an incredibly rich public figure and you awake to the sound of broken glass and hear someone entering your house. What would you do? /3

The Awful Truth:
♠️Paul Pelosi Was Drunk Again, And In a Dispute With a Male Prostitute.

♠️ #PaulPelosi had an unidentified passenger on his recent DD arrest.

♠️Both occurred roughly at 2:30am. Both are being covered up.

🤞🏼Let’s hope David Depape doesn’t get Epsteined

How would Depape have been able to break a window without triggering an alarm?

There was only one hammer, and it belonged to Pelosi. And only ONE cop quoted the perpetrator saying,

"Where's Nancy?" None of the other sources said that happened."

Remember the recent Drunk driving incident,

CA D.A. Is withholding dash cam and police refused to confirm or deny that there was anyone in the car with #PaulPelosi

As the “story” continues to shift & change, we’ll never see body cam evidence #PaulPelosiIsGay #January6

By the way, what we’re seeing with the #PaulPelosi situation is the other side of the hypocrisy coin. We have seen a lot of “it’s different when our side does it.“ Now we’re saying “it’s different when it happens to us.” 1/
2/ I mean this could be a moment when Nancy Pelosi says “having had violence brought home to me, I admit it has opened my eyes. I should have funded more security for supreme court justices… I should have chastised my daughter for praising Rand Paul’s attacker.”
3/ in other words, it would’ve been perfectly reasonable for Pelosi and other Democrats to have some introspection and growth

and that might still happen

but it ain’t likely

what’s more likely is that they will try to attach this attack to some conservative cause, whether…
