Florida Teacher Beaten to Pulp by SAVAGE 6'6 Student Says He MUST Receive 20+Yrs
Florida Teacher Beaten to a Pulp by 6'6 Student Over Nintendo Switch Says She Wants 270lb Teen to Receive MAXIMUM Jail Term of Up to 30 Years
- But His Mom Says He Should Be Freed...
Seventeen at the time, Naydich was later filmed chasing the teacher down the hall, shoving her to the floor before repeatedly punching her unconscious body. He will be tried on 31 Jan
MailOnline News 23 JAN 2024
The Florida teacher filmed being beaten senseless by a 270 pound student last year has refused to support a lighter sentence for the teen.
Matanzas High School's Joan Naydich, 58, made the declaration Friday, as activists continue to fight for lesser sentence for the autistic high schooler, 18-year-old Brendan Depa.
The attack happened at Matanzas High School in February, when another teacher confiscated the 6'6" student's Nintendo Switch.
Seventeen at the time, Depa - upon realizing it was Naydich who tipped of the teacher - was filmed chasing the teacher's aide down the hall, before shoving her to the floor and punching her to the point of unconsciousness.
The footage quickly upset much of the nation, and is set to be used as evidence this month when Depa stands trial. He will be tried as an adult, with punishments ranging from probation to 30 years of jailtime.
In comments to The New York Post, a still-traumatized Naydich - who was left with five broken ribs following the attack - explained why she wants the high-schooler to receive the max sentence.
'He definitely needs to be in jail,' Naydich told the paper Friday, citing how she's lost her income, health insurance, and benefits after being inexplicably put on unpaid leave in the wake of the still-viral attack.
Unfortunately, a lot of my injuries that are not visible I'm going to have for the rest of my life,' Naydich recently explained. 'I have no idea what closure looks like right now. I just want to be whole again'
'He needs to be in jail for what he did to me,' she continued. 'I’m in my own jail of sorts every single day I wake up.'
The longtime Flagler County School District staffer - placed on an unpaid leave in August - proceeded to claim that Depa’s supporters, including his adoptive mother, were overstating his limitations.
'He’s not autistic like everybody believes he is,' she said, arguing the attack was premeditated and the result of a plot by the hulking teen.
“They are painting a picture of him that he’s not able to think for himself,' she contineud, as Depa remains locked up ahead of of his looming January 31 trial.
Leanne Depa - seen here in one of many TV spots defending her son - has fiercely maintained his actions were not his fault
'He’s working on his GED in jail and he almost has it,' she said. 'His mother has painted a picture of him that he’s incapable of putting socks on.'
