Cohee was caught after his mother found a duffel bag in his closet with a severed head and hand; hysterically calling the police on her then-teenage son.
Cohee was found guilty of the murder in February 2023, and sentenced to life in prison. His attorneys argued he was mentally unstable after being diagnosed with major depressive disorder, ADHD, and autism.
However, prosecutors argued that Cohee understood what he did was wrong after admitting what he did to Barnes.
