Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.

Four gorgeous co-eds dead.

Why?

According to prosecutors, because Frazier Baum mowed them down,

mowed them down on the side of the road.

Now, bomb pled not guilty to four counts of second-degree murder and four counts of vehicular homicide with gross negligence.

Now, the lawyers are also arguing that it's all the state's fault, but in the last days, a major defeat for the state, for the crime victims. I'm Nancy Grace.

This is crime stories. I want to thank you for being with us. Many people call drunk driving or

vehicular homicides an accident. It is no accident. It is a willing decision to drink, order the next drink,

and the next and the next, then get your keys, walk to your car, turn the ignition, reverse,

drive, and go out onto the highway. Those are multiple decisions made with intent, and that is what

is required under the law for an intentional murder. Intent. As all of you legal eagles know, intent to

commit a crime can be formed in the blink of an eye, a twinkling of a

moment. As I always told juries in the time it takes to raise a gun and pull the trigger,

that's time to form intent. It does not require a long, drawn-out plan such as poisoning

someone bit by bit over weeks and months until they kill over dead. No, that is not the legal

definition of intent. That may be the street definition, the street vernacular, but not under the law.

In the last days, Frazier Baum has a big win. In the Pepperdine murder trial, a judge orders prosecutors to hand over his phone that he refused to unlock for police, even though prosecutors fear, rightly, that he could tamper with that phone.

FYI bomb, we can find out what you delete.

Okay, remember Alex Murdoch, let that be a lesson to you.
