Real𒉰ity may finally be sinking in for accused Weight Watchers-exec ki෴ller Jason Bohn.
Th🍒e Ivy League-educated lawyer, on trial for strangling his live-in girlfriend, tried to impose his own death sentence with several suicide attempts between court appearances, sources said.
Columbia University-educated Bohn slit his wrists, tried to hang himself and drank a poisonous liquid over the weekend in a determined effort♕ to take the easy way out, the sources said.
A Queens judge and prosecutors said they want to get the bottom of why defendant Jason B♛ohn appeared at his murder trial today with bandaged wrists, and without his glasses or a belt, telltale signs of a suicide watch.
L🦄awyers and Justice Michael Aloise addressed the issue outside the presence of the jury, but Bohn’s wrists, wrapped in thick white gauze, could clearly be seen by the jurors.
And while they might not have 💖noticed Bohn’s missing belt, they were almost certain to notice that he was without the glasses he has worn every day he has been on 🥀trial for allegedly strangling girlfriend, Danielle Thomas in 2012 in the Astoria apartment they once shared.
Bohn, 35, made no attempt to hide his wrists as he 🎐repeatedly wiped his eyes du♔ring testimony from his former foster care counselor who said his mother abandoned him.
“Is he making an unsworn statement of a suicide attempt?” prosec💎utor Patrick O’Connor asked when the jury was out.
Aloise said he noticed the bandages, ✃too, and asked ꧙Bohn’s lawyer to get an explanation.
If depression drove him to a suicide attempt, testimony from h🌊is former counselor did not help.
Carolinꦓe Weil, a social worker who counseled a🌠 teenaged Bohn at Jewish Child Care Association, said the defendant’s parents neglected him. Bohn was placed in foster care as a teenager.
“He has angry with his father in Florida,” Weil said. “We couldn’t locate him. His mother didn’t want anything to do with him. I constantly tried to reach out to her. She was too busy at work. We encouraged her to come out on the weekend but if it didn’t go with her schedule it wouldn’t be worth her time, she simply wanted to disappear.
“I liked him. He was a nice young boy in a terrible situation. He ran away all the time. He was in a hopeless situation. His mother abandoned him. He was shuffled around to different relatives. His father also abandoned him,” she said.
Bohn’s lawyers said he suffers from extreme emotional disorder and Intermittent Explosive Disorder because of his abandonment issues. They plan to 💯 prove that Bohn has been dealing with the issues most of his life, and that his first psychotic break resulted in Thomas’ death.
The body of Thomas, 27, a Weigh෴t Watchers executive, was found in an ice-filled bathtub after neighbors heard screaming in the apartment.
