The man who attacked Paul Pelosi in his San Francisco home was convicted in state court Friday, weeks after being sentenced to 30 years in federal court.
"Speaker Pelosi and her family remain in awe of their Pop’s bravery, which shone through again on the witness stand in this trial just as it did when he saved his own life on the night of the attack," a Pelosi spokesperson said in statement. "For nearly 20 grueling months, Mr. Pelosi has demonstrated extraordinary courage and fortitude every day of his recovery." Louis Casiano is a reporter for Fox News Digital.
