Enormous 6ft 6 schoolboy speaks out after being jailed for beating teacher over Nintendo

#englishnews News Article :- A six foot six inches tall high school student has apologized after being sentenced to five years in prison for beating a Florida teaching assistant unconscious when she took away his Nintendo Switch. In October, Brendan Depa, 17, pleaded no contest to aggravated battery charges and his mom begged for a lenient sentence. The victim, 59-year-old Joan Naydich, claims she suffered five broken ribs, a concussion, hearing and vision loss and was diagnosed with PTSD after the 270 lb autistic teenager leapt on her. Judge Terence Perkins said during his sentencing that he had not heard the teen express remorse. However, Depa's tutor shared an apology she claims he wrote while in custody, which she shared with News Nation. The note reads: "I deeply regret allowing my emotions to get the best of me and letting things happen the way that they did. "In a choice between letting this incident destroy, define, or strengthen me, I have chosen to let it strengthen me." Naydich, a mother of two, was calling for him to receive the maximum sentence of 30 years. "Brendan Depa's actions that day has caused me to lose a job that I had for almost 19 years, lose my financial security, lose my health insurance," she told the court. In his note, Depa wrote: "I am extremely sorry for injuring Miss Joan so severely, and I am happy to see the injuries I inflicted did not leave any permanent scars or bruises." His adoptive mother, Leann Depa, told the court that she warned the school about his triggers, including "electronics." "I had told the school that being hungry was a trigger, that noise was a trigger, that being told no was a trigger, that being corrected in front of other people was a trigger, and electronics was a huge trigger," she told the court. Depa's lawyers have filed a separate lawsuit against the school district alleging negligence, in which they describe him as "a ticking time bomb." In his letter, Depa pleaded: "What I did should not define who I am. "I made a mistake - one I will never let happen again - and I am sorry. "During my incarceration, I have learned coping skills to ensure something like this never happens again. 'I have grown and matured in ways otherwise impossible, making me not happy I have been incarcerated, but nonetheless grateful." His mother described the verdict as a "death sentence" and accused the justice system of punishing him for being large, black and disabled. "He's scared," she told NewsNation. "To have your child call and cry and say 'I don't want to die' — it's awful.'" After completing his prison stint, Depa will be subject to 15 years of supervised probation.
