He called from the San Francisco County Jail and spoke with reporter Amber Lee, who originally reached out to him.
“I want to apologize to everyone. I messed up. What I did was really bad. I’m sorry I didn’t get more out of them. It’s my own fault. No one else to blame. I better Should have come properly prepared,” Depp said in a five-minute taped conversation with Lee.
Dieppe told KTVU-TV that he attacked Pelosi because he believes that people’s personal liberties are under attack.
Depp said, “I’ve got their names and addresses so I can meet with them a little bit… have a heart-to-heart talk about their bad behavior.”
In her report, Lee said she was unable to ask Deppe a follow-up question and said the conversation seemed scripted. Additionally, she said that Deppe told her that he did not want to jeopardize her case.
DePape faces a number of charges including attempted murder, elder abuse and kidnapping. He has pleaded not guilty to the state and federal charges, and has been held in jail without bail since the attack.
