SANTA ANA, Orange County - An under-aged Tustin DUI driver without a driver license has pleaded guilty of second-degree murder today for murdering a 16-year-old girl who was in the same car with him when the car crashed.
Milad Moulayi, 18, will be sentenced to 15 years to life in prison on Oct. 2 by Superior Court Judge.
Moulayi had been warned by many friends not to drunk driving before the crash happened on Aug. 28, 2008.
The victim, MacKenzie Frazee, 16, wanted to get back home soon that night, got in his car and got killed minutes later.
Orange County District Attorney testified that Moulayi was very drunk and his blood alcohol level was over .11 percent. He lost control of the car while drunk-driving in a high speed over 100 mph on Newport Avenue. The car crashed shortly, Frazee died from massive blunt-force trauma even she had a seat belt on.
Deputy District Attorney explained that the case was prosecuted as an adult case, not as a juvenile crime. Instead of vehicular manslaughter, he will be convicted of second-degree murder due to the fact that he was aware of the danger ahead from drinking alcohol while driving, but still intentionally do so.
The Orange County District Attorney says that the verdict of the murder conviction to a juvenile has sent a message to young people that they would not get away with a serious crime like this because they are under age. They should take responsibility for what they do.
Under California law, Murder Crime can be classified as first-degree murder, second-degree murder or manslaughter. A killing which may not be intentional can still be treated as a first-degree murder if it is considered as a violent crime, such as: rape, carjacking, robbery, kidnapping, burglary.
