About this episode
It shocked the nation when David DePape, driven by insane QAnon conspiracy theories, violently attacked Paul Pelosi, husband of former Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
A federal judge recently sentenced DePape to 30 years in prison. With that de facto life sentence looming, we uncover a legal twist: the judge's oversight during sentencing denied him the chance to speak in his own defense. Now, a follow-up hearing is in the offing, leaving us wondering—will DePape break his silence, and will the sentence change?
More importantly, at sentencing his lawyer reveals that DePape has documented mental health disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. Yes, we're going there -- again.
In this episode, we explore the intersection of radicalization and vulnerability, particularly online, among individuals with ASD. Could this condition render them more susceptible to extremist ideologies?
