A judge said the student, now 18, showed no remorse for the beating. His mother said he has mental health conditions and needs help.

A Florida student accused of beating a school employee unconscious after she confiscated his Nintendo Switch last year was sentenced to five years in prison Tuesday, court records show.

Brendan Depa, 18, pleaded no contest to one count of aggravated battery on an elected official or education employee, according to sentencing documents from the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court in Flagler County.

Depa, who was 17 at the time of the assault, was also sentenced to 15 years of probation.

    We have higher priority people for whom we can’t get any help… ie most homeless people are not visible and helping them would cost a lot less money per head.

    No can’t do that… now you are suggesting state waste resources on this trash?

    Y’all need to get some context and priorities straight. I don’t disagree with having a proper social policy but we don’t have that right now. So this clown goes to prison where they will beat him until he is unconscious and nobody will care.

    Pity ended when violence started. Also I reviewed transcripts… this piece of shit really should have been taken out of school system earlier. The disregard for teacher safety in public education is beyond clown status. That’s the real issue here, not this trash being send to prison.

    He said he wanted to kill her, should have been charged with attempted murder.

      Ignoring your fascist-sounding “higher priority people” for now, it’s not an either/or proposition.

      The unhoused should DEFINITELY receive more and better assistance as well.

      suggesting state waste resources on this trash?

      Ok, you’re sounding more and more bigoted by the sentence, I’m starting to reconsider engaging in the first place…

      this piece of shit

      Yup, that’s about the amount of quite likely racially motivated dehumanizing I’m gonna put up with. Go fuck yourself.

        yes we should waste resources because your opinion is that violent criminal is higher priority than working people who can’t afford rent lol

        again we got the clown society we deserve with reasoning like this.

        cheers.
