Four young women. One deadly stretch of Pacific Coast Highway.

And a single phrase echoing through the courtroom: “Speed is not malice.”



In this episode of Hidden Killers with Tony Brueski, we break down the case of Fraser Michael Bohm, the 22-year-old driver accused of killing four Pepperdine University seniors in a fiery crash on Malibu’s infamous Dead Man’s Curve. Prosecutors say Bohm’s BMW was flying at over 100 mph in a 45 zone when it struck a row of parked cars, sending them careening into the victims — Niamh Rolston, Peyton Stewart, Asha Weir, and Deslyn Williams.



Bohm’s defense insists this was a tragedy, not a crime — arguing that “speed alone doesn’t prove malice.” But Judge Thomas Rubinson disagreed, refusing to toss the murder charges and allowing the case to move forward.



We unpack the legal fault lines between vehicular manslaughter and implied-malice murder, the psychology of risk and privilege, and what this ruling could mean for every reckless-driving case going forward. Was this youthful arrogance, blind panic, or conscious disregard for life?



From courtroom strategy to moral accountability, this is the story of how a split-second decision on one of America’s most dangerous highways became a test case for justice — and a defining moment for four grieving families demanding that speed finally have consequences.
