Fraser Bohm, 24, is accused of causing a high-speed crash on Pacific Coast Highway that resulted in the deaths of four members of the Alpha Phi sorority. The incident, which occurred on October 17, 2023, has led to four murder charges against Bohm, who is facing legal scrutiny after a judge dismissed his request to dismiss the charges.
A judge ruled against Bohm’s motion to dismiss the murder charges, prompting the possibility of an appeal. The case has drawn significant attention due to the tragic loss of young lives and the alleged reckless driving that led to the accident.
Bohm was found to be driving at speeds exceeding the posted limit of 45 mph, known as ‘Dead Man’s Curve.’ The prosecution argues that Boh, who is from the area, was aware of the dangers of the road and should have known that speeding could lead to fatal consequences. The defense, however, contends that the circumstances of the crash do not warrant murder charges and that the case should be reassessed.
The victims, who were in their senior year, were on foot at the time of the crash and were declared dead at the scene. The defense team has pointed out the lack of evidence regarding drug use, alcohol consumption, or text messages leading to the incident. This has further complicated the case and raised questions about the appropriateness of the charges.
