Man pleads guilty to attempted murder

Jody Bohn pleaded guilty to attempted murder after an incident in which he hit a woman in the head with a hammer multiple times.

Second District Judge Michelle Evans accepted Bohn’s plea, which was the result of a plea agreement. Bohn, 59, of Lewiston, was charged with attempted murder for trying to kill Susan O. Jackson in August in Pioneer Park. Jackson was sleeping in the park when she was confronted by Bohn and attacked.

The maximum penalty for attempted murder is 15 years in prison plus a $25,000 fine.

Evans asked Bohn how he pleaded twice before she accepted his plea; he responded “guilty, your honor” each time.

Evans asked Bohn why he was pleading guilty and Bohn said he had seen photos of the incident and “it looks like it was me.”
