Lawyers for Brendan Depa say the school district is responsible for ruining Depa’s life.
“The district should be held to account for its failures which have forever changed the trajectory of this young man’s life,” they argued.
The lawyers said that the special needs program should have known that taking electronics from Depa was a ‘trigger.’
The teacher who Depa assaulted suffered broken ribs and a concussion.
Depa is facing 30 years in prison and is set to be sentenced on May 1.
Eight men in total were removed from an American Airlines flight from Phoenix to New York City in January.
Here is where things get interesting: The three men who filed the lawsuit didn't even know each other.
The men are claiming they were racially discriminated against by the flight attendant who kicked them off.
"Y’all just took like eight Black people off the plane," a man said during the incident.
After American Airlines was unable to rebook their flights, the men were allowed back on the plane, which they say was very embarrassing.
"None of the white passengers were taken off the plane and humiliated and embarrassed," one of the men said.
