DePape testified today.
www.nbcnews.com
The defense said DePape never intended to harm either Nancy or Paul Pelosi. After breaking into the home and jarring Paul Pelosi out of bed, DePape said he felt comfortable around him.
The defense has said DePape's plans were to use Nancy and Paul Pelosi to lure a person the government has labeled "Target 1."
That person has been identified by local prosecutors and the defense, for which she testified Tuesday, as Bay Area scholar and University of Michigan professor Gayle Rubin, a leading academic in feminist theory and queer studies.
DePape rattled off a long list of grievances — many of which regularly echo through far right circles — that led to the night he broke into the Pelosi home.
He said that before his arrest, he spent six hours a day looking for political commentary on YouTube.
"Everything was a lie coming from the press," said DePape, wearing a zip up blue-gray cardigan and tan khakis.
