Summary
Fraser Bohm, the driver who caused a violent crash killing four Pepperdine college students, hires high-profile celebrity attorney Alan Jackson. Jackson shortly ask judge to lower Bohm's bail from $4 million to $2 million to free up funds for an "expert-intensive defense." Jackson argued that bond is tying up family money that could be spent on his defense. The judge refused to cut the amount in half.
Bohm faces four murder and vehicular manslaughter charges for the deaths of Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams, who were standing on the side of PCH when authorities say Bohm hit them after losing control of his BMW while driving in excess of 100 mph.
