Bucks County District Attorney Press Release Re: Justin Mohn Murder Sentence
JUSTIN MOHN CONVICTED OF FIRST-DEGREE MURDER, SENTENCED TO LIFE
Justin Mohn, 33, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on Friday, July 11, 2025, for the brutal beheading of his father, Michael Mohn, in their Middletown Township home in January 2024. Following the horrific act, Mohn posted a disturbing video on YouTube, displaying his father’s decapitated head and calling for violent attacks against federal government officials.
Common Pleas Judge Stephen A. Corr delivered the guilty verdict after a week-long waiver trial that commenced on Monday. Mohn was also convicted of terrorism, marking the first time a defendant has been found guilty of the crime under Pennsylvania’s terrorism statute.
Family’s Heartbreaking Testimony
Before sentencing, Michael Mohn’s family delivered emotional statements detailing the profound impact of the murder.
“My whole family feels violated by the defendant’s extremely calculated and premeditated betrayal and from the posting of the horrifying video that he published online for thousands to see,” his daughter Stephanie read in court. “The awareness that my own brother is capable of such atrocities is terrifying; that person we grew up with is long gone.”
Michael F. Mohn, 68, was a respected, long-time federal employee with the Army Corps of Engineers. He was remembered as a loving husband and father who was always there for his children. Notably, he continued to provide significant emotional and financial support to his son Justin, even into his 30s as Justin struggled with unemployment and finding his path. This tireless support underscored Michael’s deep, unconditional love.
