He didn’t only have mommy issues, he had a vendetta against daddy too.
The Ivy League educated lawyer on trial for the brutal murder of his girlfriend not only wanted to kill his mother, he penned “101 ways to kill his father,” prosecutor’s revealed on Tuesday.
“It’s a one-sided argument of [Bohn's] traumatic childhood. He never took responsibility for his behavior,” said Dr. Jennifer Rosner, the prosecutor’s first rebuttal witness who also evaluated Jason Bohn and diagnosed him with “intermittent explosive disorder” along with other mental disorders.
Bohn, 35, admitted to beating and strangling Danielle Thomas to death inside their Astoria apartment on June 24, 2012.
The contract attorney suffers from the emotional disorder which stems from childhood trauma involving his mother abandoning him at a young age, doctors testified.
The jurors learned that Bohn also had issues with his father, George.
Bohn’s father allegedly stabbed him in the knee, gave him cocaine and physically abused him and his brother Christopher, the defense said.
Rosner considered Bohn’s childhood trauma during her eight-hour long evaluation, but believes “he played a role” with his anti-social behavior well before he was in foster care in 1993.
“At 6-years-old under his mother’s care, he was stopped for shoplifting. He couldn’t live with his dad anymore because he wrote 101 ways to kill his father in 1992 while he was in school and his step-mother had him removed from the house, but when I asked Jason about it he didn’t remember,” said Rosner who told the jurors that Bohn is a known liar and manipulator.
“He told Dr. Bardey he was quote close with his mother before going to live with his father in Florida, she helped him with his homework,” said Rosner who received a negative account from Bohn regarding his mother, Maureen O’Connell.
Rosner was also “concerned” that the defense’s psychiatrist, Dr. Alexander Sasha Bardey agreed that Bohn loss control and acted under the legal terms of extreme emotional distress during the murder of Thomas, 27.
Bohn didn’t remember the details of the attack during her evaluation in order for Rosner to determine if he acted under the EED.
“EED is based on episodes that’s out of character, not something that could have been predicted,” said Rosner who added “Jason gave multiple examples of prior violence with girlfriends and in this situation he and the victim argued about breaking up for months…it wasn’t a new stressor.”
