A Florida teacher who was beaten senseless by a 270 pound student has refused to support a lighter sentence for the teen.
High school teacher Joan Naydich was violently attacked by Brendan Depa, then 17, in February after she told him to stop playing on his Nintendo Switch.
The autistic teen was seen on video punching and kicking the educator in the back and head until she lay on the ground unconscious.
Eventually the 6-foot-6 teen, now 18, was pulled away and restrained by other staff.
Naydich, was taken to a local hospital and treated after the assault.
Depa, reportedly threatened to kill Naydich during his arrest.
Depa, was charged as an adult and faces up to 30 years in prison for the first-degree felony charge of aggravated battery.
The teen, who was initially charged as a juvenile before being upgraded to an adult, is set to plead guilty in an attempt to avoid jail time, the New York Post reported.
Naydich has 'shown no interest in mitigating what penalties Depa might face', according to news site Flagler Live.
Depa had three prior battery arrests before the February attack and has been in a prison fight just last month, the Post reported.
'I'm hopeful that the awareness of this incident being spread far and wide will prevent anyone else from ever dealing with the trauma, physical healing and disruption of everyday life this has caused,' she said on a GoFundMe page that has raised more than $100,000.
Depa is slated to issue his plea later month and will be sentenced after that in a separate proceeding.
Matanzas High School where the assault occurred has been beset with violence in recent years, the Post reported.

No need to apologize. Thank You for the head’s up.
On this Episode of “As the Keyboard Smolders” we have a tailwind providing oxygen to the embers.
Very funny... but that wasn’t the meaning of what I wrote. See post #117.
GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS THEN & NOW!
“Government schools — and some private — are CHEATING STUDENTS and TAXPAYERS.”
I did this 5 minute video in 2007 & wrote the description you see just above at that time.
Now, at the end of 2023, I SHOULD have added “...and are quickly destroying the IDEA & the PLACE called “AMERICA”.

Homeschool or private school is the way to go.
