An Ivy League-educated lawyer on trial for killing his Weight Watchers executive girlfriend expressed “waves of anger” during a murderous attack that was caught on tape, a psychiatrist testified Monday.
Hollywood shrink Alexander Sasha Bardey told Queens jurors that accused killer Jason Bohn was out of control as he strangled Danielle Thomas, 27, in their Astoria apartment in 2012 .
“He wasn’t in control,” Bardey said. “The anger was in control. You could hear waves of anger throughout the call.”
Bardey was referring to a message accidentally left on a friend’s voicemail that allegedly captured the last terrifying moments of Thomas’ life.
In the recording, Bohn relentlessly questions why Thomas made a phone call to a number with a 508 area code.
“It wouldn’t have mattered if he had gotten the answers he wanted,” Bardey, a defense witness, said. “He was out of control.”
Last week, Bardey, as part of Bohn’s “intermittent explosive disorder’’ defense, compared Bohn to the raging comic book character, the Incredible Hulk.
Thomas’ body was discovered days after the phone call in a tub filled with ice.
Bohn, 35, has admitted he killed the victim, but has claimed he has a diminished mental capacity because of abandonment issues related to his mother.
