The driver accused of killing a motorcyclist in Santa Rosa in September of 2022 wants his murder charge dropped. Charles Bernhardy’s attorney says his client should not be charged with murder because the collision that killed a 23-year-old man was an accident and was not premeditated. According to the attorney, Bernhardy was upset on the night of the crash because he thought his wife had cheated on him. A judge is expected to hear arguments for and against the motion to drop the murder charge on October 19th.
