Defense attorney Michael Kraut claimed his client was trying to get away from someone who was aggressively chasing him just before the deadly crash on the Pacific Coast Highway last week.
A judge postponed a bail hearing review until Monday for the 22-year-old man charged in the Malibu crash that killed four Pepperdine University students.Defense attorney Michael Kraut is asking the judge to lower Bohm's bail from $4 million to $400,000, contending that Bohm was a victim of road rage.
Kraut would not say where he got the video from but says it did not come from the driver or his family. He said the video lasts several minutes and claims sheriff's investigators ignored his attempt to show them the evidence. At the news conference, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón said Bohm was allegedly traveling at 104 mph in a 45 mph zone "when he lost control of his BMW.""The evidence clearly shows that didn't happen," Kraut said. "The max it was, according to witness testimony, my client's statement, and the black box inside the BMW was at maximum, 70 mph.
