In Court: A sentencing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. before Circuit Judge Terence Perkins in Courtroom 401 at the Flagler County Courthouse in the case of Brendan Depa, the former Matanzas High School special needs student accused of assaulting a paraprofessional, in an incident recorded on video. Depa tendered an open plea in late October, leaving the judge wide discretion to sentence him either as an adult or as a youthful offender.
