Fraser Bohm, the accused driver of a vehicle who crashed into four Pepperdine University students on Pacific Coast Highway in October 2023, has pleaded not guilty in the deaths of the four sorority sisters.

Bohm appeared in a Los Angeles County courtroom on Wednesday to hear his charges, alongside his new attorney who was most recently the legal representative in one of the highest profile murder cases in recent memory.

Bohm, of Malibu, has hired Alan Jackson, who just recently secured a not-guilty verdict in the Massachusetts murder trial of Karen Read, according to Court TV.

Jackson has also represented actor Kevin Spacey in a sexual assault case, and was a former member of the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office team that successfully prosecuted music producer Phil Spector for the murder of actress and model Lana Clarkson.

It is not reasonable to be driving that fast on major thoroughfares. I doubt the “I was being chased’ story is going to fly. I would guess there are videos of his car on city streets before the incident showing no one stalking him. He could be up for felony vehicular manslaughter ...4 counts..may get 20-25 years in the slammer.

A real shame about the young women.

“It is not reasonable to be driving that fast on major thoroughfares.”

PCH never seemed like a major thoroughfare to me. It’s almost impossible to go at a high speed. At least that’s how I remember it when we lived there.

One can only hope, but it is CA.

And that should be the sentence for each girl, served consecutively.

He ended their lives, his should end as well.

I looked up the California laws....not to promising in terms of offing the perp. He could get off if he can prove he was in a self defense situation and it was a mere accident..probably why his alibi will be that he was escaping a road rage assailant..
I don’t know what the charges are...hopefully prosecution has a tight case and files the correct charges....hope he gets 50 years...

Alan Jackson is the OJ-style lawyer who represented Karen Read, and with dirty moves and lots of lies, got her off. He’s a fast-talking sleaze, just like Johnny Cochran.
