[quote=jsteele]Here is how the Chronicle describes the pivotal point of the confrontation:

[quote]Officers Wilmes and Cagney walked to the front of the home and rang the doorbell. Inside, investigators said, DePape ordered Paul Pelosi not to open the door, but he did anyway, leading to a pivotal confrontation in a dimly lit foyer.

“As the door opened,” prosecutors wrote, “Mr. Pelosi nervously but calmly greeted them. When the officer asked what was going on, Defendant smiled and said, ‘Everything’s good.’”

After an officer turned on his flashlight, DePape could be seen holding the bottom of the hammer with one hand and Pelosi’s right arm with the other. Pelosi gripped the same hammer, near the top of the handle.

“Drop the hammer!” one officer shouted.

“Um nope,” DePape responded, then pulled at the hammer, twisting one of Pelosi’s arms as the older man pleaded, “Hey, hey, hey!”

According to the district attorney’s account, an officer asked, “What is going on here?” as Pelosi lost his grip on the hammer. DePape stepped back and swung the tool, striking Pelosi in the head. He was unconscious as the officers rushed into the house, tackled DePape and took away the hammer.
