Malibu man to stand trial for murder in high-speed crash that left 4 Pepperdine students dead
Briefly

Fraser Bohm, a 23-year-old man from Malibu, has been ordered to stand trial for murder and vehicular manslaughter charges stemming from a deadly crash that resulted in the deaths of four Pepperdine University students. Prosecutors allege Bohm was speeding between 93 and 104 mph on a portion of Pacific Coast Highway known as "Dead Man's Curve" when he collided with three parked cars. Witness accounts varied about his speed, with his lawyer arguing for a defense based on multiple eyewitness statements supporting lower speed claims and factors contributing to the crash.
Kraut emphasized that it is uncommon for a case to go to trial where someone is convicted of murder, stating 'I was in a homicide unit.'
Bohm's defense pointed to evidence, including a witness corroborating his account that he was driving '70 miles an hour, not 104,' prior to the crash.
