MALIBU, Calif. (KABC) -- The driver in a Malibu crash that killed four Pepperdine University students pleaded not guilty to murder during his first court appearance Wednesday, and prosecutors said he was speeding at more than 100 mph moments before the crash.
Fraser Bohm, 22, is charged with four counts of murder and four counts of gross vehicular manslaughter.
Bohm was not visible in court Wednesday as he entered a not guilty plea. Bohm's attorney Michael Kraut claimed his client was trying to get away from someone who was aggressively chasing him just before the deadly crash on the Pacific Coast Highway last week. Investigators say Bohm was speeding when he lost control of his car and hit several parked cars, which crashed into the women who died.

By the way, the guy's bail is $4 million...
Really. The guy must be White.
Yesterday I read that his bail was $8 million.
I’ve driven it 100 times or more in my life. Also on motorbike too. You can get to good speeds up near Pepperdine. A few years back there were a couple of Italian sportscars racing each other, one guy killed himself wrapping his Ferrari around a utility pole if I recall.
It can indeed be a nice drive, but is often just too much traffic until you get past Carbon Beach, or in the summer trying to get out from Zuma.
As I’ve heard from urban types on crime shows:
“White? He was white as Christmas.”
Vermont and Colorado are the only mountainous places in which I’ve ever driven. I’d much rather flat land.
Bohm and his lawyer Kraut...That’s a case where Gascon will throw the whole library at them; they’re not part of the projected class.
The perp claims that he was being chased on the highway and that is why he was driving that fast..they call that area “Dead man’s curve”
"when he lost control of his BMW"
That's not good enough. What model? M8? What? It goes to motive and state of mind.
Dodn’t think a malibu would go that fast,
Yeah but flat and straight like say Kansas has its own problems. I’ve noticed it its like that they throw in a kink or two just to keep you awake and aware.
“Affluenza” will set him free.
He shouldn’t get bail
Now we are getting somewhere. Beach Boys' Dead Man's Curve. "Well the last thing I remember Doc, I started to swerve, and then I saw the Jag slide into the curve."
This humor is not meant disrespectfully but to underline the tragedy that this idiot killed people.

White rich guy.....he’s toast.
I was a little kid when we drove by Pepperdine.
I asked what country club it was.
There was a Ferrari in the tennis parking lot.
