Out-of-control driver accused of killing 4 Pepperdine University seniors appears in court after hiring Karen Read’s high-power attorney

LOS ANGELES — A California judge refused to lower bail for the out-of-control BMW driver accused of killing four Pepperdine University students, saying it isn’t the court’s job to help him pay for his high-profile lawyer — who recently got Karen Read acquitted in a stunning verdict.
 
Fraser Bohm, 23, faces murder and vehicular manslaughter charges for allegedly fatally mowing down sorority sisters Niamh Rolston, 20, Peyton Stewart, 21, Asha Weir, 21, and Deslyn Williams, 21, while doing over 100 mph in Malibu in 2023.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Thomas Rubinson shot down a request from Alan Jackson — the hotshot LA lawyer who’s defended Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and most recently Read — to cut Bohm’s bail from $4 million to $2 million.

My question is:  Would the judge have approved it if they guy were an illegal alien?  It is California after all. :pondering:

He would be out on his own recognizance, in that instance.
I would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue.

I stand corrected!
