The driver Fraser Michael Bohm was ordered to stand in court at PCH crash, in which 4 students from Pepperdine University were killed

Van Nuys, California (ZNS) – A 22-year-old man was instructed on Wednesday to be on trial for murder and vehicle skirts

The judge of the Supreme Court, Dergo H. Edber, ordered Fraser Michael Bohm from Malibu to return to the courthouse of Van Nuys on July 1st to kill four charges of murder and vehicle confiscation with gross negligence in October 2023, night accident, in which Niamh Rolston, October 20, was killed. Peyton Stewart, 21; Asha Weir, 21; and Deslyn Williams, 21.

All four women were seniors at the Seaver College of Liberal Arts in Pepperdine and members of Alpha Phi Sorority. You should graduate from 2024 with Pepperdines class and then received your degrees posthumously.

The four were hit when they walked along the shoulder area after they got out of a vehicle in the 45 -mile zone, the deputy district prosecutor Nathan Bartos told the judge.

“They were killed because of the accused's driving,” said the prosecutor and found that data was called up by a BMW device in BOHM that the vehicle accelerated only 2 1/2 seconds before the first of three effects of 93 miles per hour per hour.

Defender Michael Kraut has questioned the accuracy of the speed figures and argues that the data of the so -called “Black Box” is “not exactly” and find that there are warnings that such data could be imprecise.

The lawyer of Bohm, who had raised the murder position, informed the judge that the young man “accelerated” and “accelerated” and “accelerated” before the deadly crash.

He called his client – who was 20 years old at the time of the crash – “a child” and said that there is “no evidence of violations of violations or a parking injury”.

A year after four Pepperdine students were hit and killed in the crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu, a vigil showed their memory at candlelight.

The defense lawyer asked why the public prosecutor submitted a case four days after the crash against Bohm and found that the investigation into fatal accidents usually took eight months to one year.

Bohm, which originally arrested, then freed from prison and then arranged again, was against the deposit, which was published against him shortly after the case was submitted.

In arguments after two days of the certificate, the prosecutor informed the judge that witnesses who estimated that Bohm was about 70 miles an hour “had lost sight of” when he “further accelerated”.

“He consciously decided to bring this vehicle to the speed of 104 miles per hour … he made this decision,” said the deputy district prosecutor and told the judge that Bohm “lost control of his vehicle”.

He noticed that Bohm called the crash “an accident” when he spoke to the investigators of the Sheriff of Los Angeles County the next morning. But the prosecutor said: “This was not an accident.”

Bohm's lawyer said he was in court to look for justice so as not to let his client freed the responsibility for the crash.

In an interview recorded on video with the investigators of the sheriff, which was played in court on Tuesday, Bohm can be heard that “it was an accident” and that he felt “terrible”.

Bohm said he had to get out in a white car after “a guy” and hit his driver's mirror, which caused him to slam into the first of the three parked vehicles.

The public prosecutor told the judge that the driver of a White Honda Civic, who reported that a car had seen “very quickly” that she had never contacted the BMW before she hit the first parked vehicle. Photos of the citizen showed no obvious damage.

The defender countered that an incident in the street “does not have to be high -speed hunt” and refers to another driver, whom he described as “aggressive” to confront Böhm with his driving while they were at a traffic light before the crash.

This driver, Victor Calandra, said on Monday that he drove a vehicle irregularly, pulled from Lane to Lane and swanged at a traffic light before he and Bohm ended up at a traffic light.
