Driver Accused of Killing Four Pepperdine Students in Speeding Crash Released on $4 Million Bail

Fraser Bohm, the 22-year-old charged with killing four Pepperdine University sorority sisters in a car crash by reportedly driving at 104 mph, has been released on $4 million bail after just three days in jail, sparking outrage among the victims' families; Bohm's defense alleges he was a victim of road rage while prosecutors insist he was conscious of his reckless behavior.

Fraser Bohm, 22, has been charged with four counts each of murder and vehicular manslaughter following a car accident that killed four Pepperdine University sorority sisters. The accident allegedly occurred due to Bohm's speeding at 104 mph on the Pacific Coast Highway, and he was released on a $4 million bail after spending only three days in jail.
The tragedy has stirred outrage among the victims' families and the community, with the mother of one victim publicly expressing her disbelief and grief. The victims, all members of the Alpha Phi sorority, were Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir and Deslyn Williams.
Bohm's defense team, led by attorney Michael Kraut, is alleging that Bohm was a victim of road rage which caused the crash. Prosecutors, however, affirm he was conscious of his reckless behavior, driving significantly over the speed limit.
Tracy Rolston, mother of victim Niamh Rolston, revealed that Bohm and her daughter attended the same school, Oaks Christian School, where Bohm was a varsity baseball player, but were not friends.
Despite Kraut's claim that Bohm was driving at 70 mph during the incident, evidence from the BMW's on-board computer indicates he was travelling at 104 mph prior to collision. Furthermore, Sergeant Jim Arens of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department stated there's no evidence to support Bohm's road rage claim.
