An Astoria man has been convicted in the brutal beating death of his girlfriend, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.
Jason Bohn, 35, was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder for strangling and torturing his 27-year-old girlfriend, Danielle Thomas, to death on June 26, 2012.
The live-in couple was feuding over phone calls Thomas had made, according to trial testimony.
“The victim was a young woman who fought for her life until she was overcome by the defendant,” Brown said. “He has justly been held accountable for his actions and it is likely he will spend the rest of his life in prison.”
Bohn, a University of Florida law school graduate, was also convicted of tampering with physical evidence and first-degree criminal contempt following a seven-week jury trial before Queens Supreme Court Justice Michael Aloise.
He faces up to life in prison without parole when he is sentenced April 2.
Bohn’s attorney was not immediately available for comment.
