The Pennsylvania man accused of beheading his father — a federal employee — says that he was justified in using “deadly force” against his victim because he “resisted” a citizen’s arrest.

Justin Mohn, 32, allegedly decapitated his father in January and displayed his head in a YouTube video in which he spouted right-wing conspiracy theories and called his father — a 20-year federal employee — a traitor. Middle Township police officers responding to the home on Jan. 30 found a headless Michael Mohn in the downstairs bathroom, along with a machete in the bathtub. Michael Mohn’s head was in a cooking pot in a bedroom.

As Law&Crime previously reported, Mohn is facing charges of first-degree murder and abuse of a corpse. Additional charges, including terrorism, terroristic threats, robbery and trespassing were added in February.

On Tuesday after a court hearing, Mohn said that he “wasn’t expecting this” and that he “had a speech ready” but didn’t have it with him. He then began to state his case, his belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories showing no sign of abating.
