Florida teen Brendan Depa wrote apology letter to teacher's aide Joan Naydich he severely beat up over Nintendo Switch
|
[NYPOST] The hulking Florida high schooler who severely beat a teacher's aide over a Nintendo Switch wrote an apology letter to his victim that was never read in court, claiming he made a ''mistake, one I will never let happen again.''
Somehow the remorse always comes after the action. Self-control means the remorse comes instead of the action.
Brendan Depa, 18, was sentenced to five years in prison for felony aggravated battery - bodily harm after he attacked paraprofessional Joan Naydich in a hallway inside Matanzas High School in Palm Coast in February 2023.
''Many people have claimed that I feel no remorse for the incident of last year, and that I don't take responsibility for my actions,'' Depa wrote in the letter titled ''Apology'' obtained by NewsNation. ''This is not true: 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.''
| Other permanent injuries, sure. And bruises by their nature are not permanent. |
Depa's tutor, Gene Lopes, encouraged the teen to work through his remorse and realize the effects of his actions, which led to the apology letter.
‘'He wrote this himself,'' Lopes told the outlet. ''Brendan is a gifted writer, as you can see from this. So this was all him.''
| Standard bread&butter note style, minimum mental age fifth grade. This is what a gifted writer who is autistic can produce. |
The tutor insisted he made no edits or changed any words in what Depa wrote, noting there were some factual errors regarding Naydich's injuries as the teen has yet to see the video of his attack and didn't know how much he injured her, the outlet added.
| So his letter is a lie, through no fault of his own. |
Hallway security cameras captured Depa, who stands 6 feet 6 and weighs roughly 270 pounds, sprinting toward the female educator, who turns and spots her assailant a split-second before he shoves her to the floor.
Depa, then 17 years old, repeatedly stomps on the unconscious paraprofessional before punching her 15 times.
Several staff members were needed to remove Depa from Naydich and hold him to the floor.
''I recognize what I did was wrong and take responsibility for my actions. I deeply regret allowing my emotions to get the best of me and letting things happen the way that they did,'' the teen added.
| He could have gotten a 30 year sentence; he was only given five years — let us all hope this nails home the lessons he reports receiving in self-control. |
