20 To 40 Years In Prison For Man Who Killed His Father

A Bristol Township man upset that his 73-year-old father was kicking him out will spend 20 to 40 years in prison for death.

Jazs Bronner, 45, was sentenced this week to the maximum amount of time the charge carried, according to prosecutor Robert James. In May, a jury convicted Bronner of third-degree murder.

According to investigators and information presented at trial, Jazs Brooner bludgeoned 73-year-old Orlando Bronner with a 10-pound dumbbell inside the well-kept home at 1005 Winder Drive in Bristol Township on March 31, 2014.

Toriaun Bronner, Orlando Bronner’s grandson and Jazs Bronner’s nephew, testified Jazs Bronner was not happy when the 73 year old said they had to move out. The request came in anticipation of the upcoming wedding between Orlando Bronner and his girlfriend.

James said during trial that Jazs Bronner purposely struck his father with the dumbbell, while the 45-year-old military veteran stated to police that his father fell and hit his head after starting an altercation.

Following the altercation that left Orlando Bronner with a fatal head wound, Jazs Bronner left the house, traveled to Trenton and returned with his mother before 9-1-1 was called.

“He knew that his father was gravely injured,” Detective Douglas Slemmer testified in May, adding that Jazs Bronner said he “panicked” and that is why he did not immediately call 9-1-1.

“He was such a sweet person,” Winder Drive resident Irma Boyd said of the elder Bronner last year. She added he was retired from his job and “ready to begin his retirement and ready to live life.”
