   Ohio prosecutors are demanding that a Cincinnati teen be charged as an   
   adult for beating a 60-year-old female teacher unconscious last month, as   
   police released disturbing new bodycam footage from the incident this   
   week.   
      
   Officials said the 15-year-old assailant repeatedly punched the special   
   education teacher in the head after taking a hit from a vape in a school   
   bathroom and ingesting an unknown drug.   
      
   New bodycam footage shows police interviewing the attacker inside the   
   school after the Jan. 4 incident.   
      
   “I think I’m in a dream,” the student states repeatedly. “Am I in a   
   dream?”   
      
   At another point, he tells a teacher attempting to restrain him that he   
   “needs a hug” and insists that he’s “not crazy.”   
      
   Despite his age, prosecutors are hoping that a Cincinnati judge will try   
   the teen’s case as an adult due to the severity of the injuries sustained   
   in the attack.   
      
   That ruling is expected by Monday.   
      
   The veteran educator’s head trauma was so severe from the repeated blows   
   that surgeons removed her skull cap to relieve pressure on her brain.   
      
   She remained unconscious for several days after the operation and is   
   continuing to recuperate, her family has said.   
      
   According to an incident report, the teen suddenly attacked another   
   classmate who was working on a computer, prompting the teacher to tell him   
   that she would have to call for security.   
      
   “She said she was going to call the police and I started punching,” he can   
   be heard telling an officer while holding the hand of an unknown staffer.   
      
   The teen said he was “glitching” during the incident and later began   
   hitting himself in the head in an attempt to “wake up” from the drug-   
   induced episode.   
      
   Other students told investigators that he told them he had taken “edibles”   
   the day of the assault.   
      
   The bodycam footage shows officers discussing a “juicy strawberry” vaping   
   device that was taken from the student.   
      
   His attorney, Clyde Bennett, told reporters after the attack that his   
   client wasn’t conscious of his actions at the time.   
      
   “This young man is not like the young men that are causing problems in the   
   community,” Bennett told WLWT.   
      
   “This young man from a great family has no criminal record and basically   
   consumed vape and didn’t know drugs was in it and it precipitated or   
   facilitated his conduct thereafter. So he should not be treated like the   
   other individuals you see on the news wreaking havoc on the community.”   
      
   But the Hamilton County DA wants the student tried as an adult for felony   
   assault, a charge that would carry a far higher maximum sentence.   
      
   “No teacher should fear going to work on interacting with their students,”   
   the agency said in a statement last month. “Currently, there is no   
   evidence to suggest this was anything other than a vicious attack by the   
   juvenile. It is fortunate that the victim is alive today. This is an   
   incredibly serious matter and we intend to treat it as such.”   
      
   Grisly attacks on teachers at the hands of students have been on the rise   
   across the country, with the beating of paraprofessional Joan Naydich in   
   Florida the most prominent recent example.   
      
   Then 17-year-old Brendan Depa battered Naydich unconscious at Matanza High   
   School in Flagler County last February after his Nintendo Switch was   
   confiscated.   
      
   Prosecutors successfully sought to have the autistic teen tried as an   
   adult, and a judge is expected to sentence him in the coming months. He is   
   facing as little as probation and a maximum term of 30 years in prison.   
      
   Naydich has stated publicly that she wants him to face the top end of his   
   term.   
      
   Prosecutors have been grappling with assault and murder cases stemming   
   from drug-induced psychosis, with defense attorneys asserting that their   
   clients are unable to comprehend their actions.   
      
   A California woman who fatally stabbed her boyfriend 108 times after   
   taking a hit of potent marijuana from a bong was sentenced to probation   
   last month.   
      
   Bryn Spejcher’s lawyers argued that she was technically “unconscious” at   
   the time of the Ventura County murder was and thus unable to form an   
   intent to kill.
