‘Ivy League killer’ will die in prison for beating girlfriend to death

Now he’s crying.

Convicted Ivy League killer Jason Bohn blubbered his way through a sentencing in Queens Tuesday where a judge hit him with a maximum of life behind bars with no chance for parole.

Bohn, 35, beat to death his live-in Weight Watchers executive girlfriend Danielle Thomas in a fit of rage because he believed she’d called another man.

Though he never shed a tear in court over the merciless 90-minute torture attack during which the helpless victim begged for her life, Bohn bawled so hard during Judge Michael Aloise’ sentencing that Bohn’s nose started to bleed.

Bohn turned on the waterworks during a nauseating, self-serving statement that included a weak apology to Thomas’ family and a promise to reach out to domestic violence victims.

“I’ll never forgive myself for what I did and not getting help for my emotional and psychological issues,” Bohn told the court. “I hurt my closest friends and family.”

But Thomas’ heartbroken mom, Jaime Thomas-Bright, wasn’t buying it.

“Life will never be good for me ever again,” Bright said. “ I’ll never get to be a grandmother and, Judge Aloise, I think I would have been a great grandma. I dread getting old.”

Thomas-Bright recalled how just three weeks before she was tortured and beaten to death, her daughter was still starry-eyed about the prospect of getting married.

“I once asked Danielle three weeks before you killed her if you’d propose what she’d say,” Jaime Thomas-Bright told Bohn. “And she smiled and said ‘yes.’”

Bohn also sobbed as Thomas’ grandmother, Juanita Hardgrove, recalled the moment she learned of Thomas’ death.

“I’m a cancer survivor, and I thought that hearing I had cancer would be the worse news until I got that call that you murdered my precious Dani,” Hardgrove said. “Only a bully and coward would do this to such a beautiful woman.”

The hearing’s creepiest moment came when a desperate Bohn addressed the victim’s mother and grandmother in court as “Mom” and “Nana.”

“It was helpful to me that Jason spoke today,” Thomas-Bright said. “I didn’t think he was going to, but when he said he was sorry and turned around and looked at me and Nana and called me mom, I thought, he normally calls me Jamie, so when he called me mom that touched me.”

But it had zero effect on the forewoman of the jury that found him guilty after only a few hours of deliberations.

“That was weird,” said juror Elena Rodriguez, who made a point to attend the sentencing. “It was condescending and possibly a tactic for him to get the judge to see that they were closer than everybody thought they were, But that didn’t work.”

It wasn’t Bohn’s only sympathy bid.

“I pondered suicide in an attempt to alleviate everyone’s pain,” Bohn said.

Sources said two months ago that the Columbia University-educated Bohn slit his wrists in a jail cell, tried to hang himself and drank a poisonous liquid in a determined effort to take the easy way out.
