In a shocking case that captured national attention, Justin D. Mohn, a 33-year-old resident of Levittown, Pennsylvania, was found guilty of murdering his father and posting a video of himself holding the severed head on YouTube.
Mohn was found guilty of murder on Friday and sentenced to two life sentences without the possibility of parole.
Mohn shot his 68-year-old father, Michael F. Mohn, with a pistol at his home in January 2024. He then decapitated the body and uploaded a 14-minute video to YouTube displaying his father’s severed head.
In the video, Mohn ranted about various issues, including the government, immigration, border control, fiscal policy, urban crime, and the war in Ukraine. He called his father a “traitor” and urged others to join him in overthrowing the U.S. government.
“This is the head of Mike Mohn, a federal employee of over 20 years and my father. He is now in hell for eternity as a traitor to his country,” the killer said in the video.
Mohn continued, “It is said those who commit treason and betray others occupy the lowest pits of hell for all time. The federal government of America has declared war on America’s citizens and the American states. America is rotting from the inside out as far-left woke mobs rampage our once-prosperous cities, turning them into lawless zones.”
He went on to call for a “revolution” against the “Biden regime.”
“If I am captured or killed, do not give up. This is America and our freedoms we are fighting for. This is our children’s futures we are fighting for. Joe Biden is no longer in power. I am now officially the acting president of America under martial law. If Joe Biden does not abdicate, then capture him and bring him to me.”
“Our federal employees are listening to this message. Now is your last chance to resign from the side of the traitors and join your countrymen in taking back your country, or else this is your fate,” Mohn said.
The video, titled “Call to Arms for American Patriots,” was online for several hours before being removed by the platform.
Mohn waived his right to a jury trial, opting instead for a bench trial presided over by Bucks County Judge Stephen A. Corr. He was convicted not only of first-degree murder but also of additional charges, including possession of an instrument of crime, gun-related offenses, criminal use of a communication facility, terroristic threats, defiant trespassing, and abuse of a corpse
Michael Mohn worked for 20 years as an engineer in the geoenvironmental section of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Philadelphia District. Victim impact statements portrayed him as a loving husband and father.
Bucks County District Attorney Jennifer Schorn spoke to reporters after the sentencing and said Mohn had exhibited a “complete and utter lack of remorse”, and called it an “unimaginable, unfathomable crime,” according to a report from The Gleaner.
“It’s unimaginable what the defendant did to his father and to his family,” Schorn said. “I know this verdict does provide some level of justice, but it will never heal their wounds.”
