Psychiatrist compares Weight Watchers killer to the Hulk

A psychiatrist who diagnosed accused Ivy League killer Jason Bohn with “intermittent explosive disorder’’ told jurors in a Queens court Wednesday that the suspect is like the raging comic book character, the Hulk — and that he once fantasized about murdering his mother as a teen.

Dr. Alexander Sasha Bardey was testifying in the trial of Bohn, 35, who’s accused of the strangulation and beating death of his Weight Watchers-exec girlfriend, Danielle Thomas, 27.
“Jason expresses that he hates his mother and fantasizes about ways to torture her,” said Bardey, a psychiatrist with New York University Langone Medical Center, reading from an evaluation made by doctors when Bohn was placed into the foster-care system in 1993 after his mother abandoned him.
Bohn is facing life in prison.
Bardey, a consultant for TV’s “Law and Order,’’ said Bohn’s mental condition was uncontrollable at times because of his rage at his mom.
“If a woman is raped, and 10 years later, she sees someone who looks like her rapist and she acts out of fear or emotions, it’s like an intense feeling that takes over your emotions like the Hulk or Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,’’ Bardey said.

Meanwhile, Bohn has gone from playing the Columbia-educated lawyer to a street-talking perp in jail, sources said.
“He knocks around with all the knucklehead thugs,’’ a law-enforcement source said. “He starts picking up the street lingo, and now he’s starting to sound more like a perp than an Ivy League-educated attorney. He’s starting to talk street.”
