He’s gone from the Ivy League to indicted for murder.
Columbia University grad and lawyer Jason Bohn was arraigned today on first-degree murder and other serious charges for the brutal beating death of his live-in girlfriend Danielle Thomas inside their Astoria, Queens, apartment.
Bohn appeared to be dazed when he was brought into Queens Supreme Court, where a prosecutor described how the 33-year-old attorney incriminated himself in a phone call to cops on the heels of the vicious murder on June 26.
“I’m out of town want to report a domestic incident,” Bohn told a 114th Precinct operator during that call, according to assistant district attorney Marilyn Filingeri.
“I went to a house party with my girlfriend on Sunday. I got home very drunk and fell asleep. My girlfriend woke me up, I got very pissed off and threw her against the wall and she was unconscious. I want someone to check on her to make sure she’s alright,” Bohn told cops, according to the prosecutor.
Bohn ended the conversation with the operator by giving his and Thomas’ full names and the address for them to find her.
Cops then went to the 33rd Street apartment he shared with the Weight Watchers executive Thomas, where they found her battered body in the bathub.
Bohn’s lawyer, Todd Greenberg, today entered on a not-guilty plea to the charges, which include strangulation and tampering with physical evidence.
“My client suffers from extreme emotional disturbance, said Greenberg outside of court.
Before she was murdered, Thomas had gone to the 114th Precinct on June 7 to obtain a restraining order against Bohn, who she said he severely beaten her. While she was at the police station, Bohn called her on her cell phone and threatened her, saying, “I’ll dedicate my life to hunting you down like a dog in the streets . . . I am going to make your life impossible,” sources previously told The Post.
Bohn was ordered held without bail today.
He was returned to the jail unit at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, and will remain in protective custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 24.
If convicted, Bohn faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
