Ms. Choi was due to go on trial Monday, 22 October 2018. Unlike her June trial which resulted in a mistrial there's no press coverage I can find.

Re: Jon Warshawsky recovery
mistrial..... unreal. "Yes, I caused a fatal accident while driving under the influence and I had done and been convicted for time and again." An absolute insult to John and the legal system. Granted nothing will ever bring back what John lost. Fight on Bullfighter

Re: Jon Warshawsky recovery
Maybe I used the wrong first name, Hyun instead of "Hyun Jeong"
At any rate, it's good to hear she didn't get off.

Re: Jon Warshawsky recovery
I just checked on ferrarichat but things have been very quiet and Jon's last post was I think last April. My impression is at least a year ago he had more surgery coming up, and overall he was and is still pretty messed up. Don't know him personally but follow it now and then.Charles H Jacobus wrote:But do we know how Jon is doing in his recovery?

Re: Jon Warshawsky recovery
The trial has finally ended. Hyun Jeong Choi has been convicted on gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury. She could still be retried for 2nd degree murder.

Jurors Deadlocked on Murder Charge in Trial of Stoned Driver
The woman's defense attorney argued his client had unknowingly smoked a very potent strain of marijuana and suffered an unusual reaction.
By NBC 7 Staff | Published Jan 28, 2019 at 1:39 PM | Updated at 5:39 PM PST on Jan 28, 2019
A verdict was reached Monday for the San Diego woman who smoked marijuana and crashed into an oncoming car in Scripps Ranch nearly three years ago. The woman's defense attorney argued his client had unknowingly smoked a very potent strain of marijuana and suffered an unusual reaction.
Hyun Jeong Choi was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury after causing a crash that crumbled a vintage Porsche in March 2016.
Choi had also faced a charge of second-degree murder but jurors were deadlocked 10 to 2 for guilty on the primary charge.
"There were two people that disagreed with the rest regarding whether the facts satisfied the definition of what's called 'implied malice' for the murder charge," Deputy District Attorney Andrew Aguilar said.
Choi's attorney has said his client was "catastrophically impaired" after smoking a strain of unrealized potency and has argued she was not guilty of murder because she was given little or no warning of its strength.
Choi, 36, was arrested on March 27, 2016, following a collision on Pomerado Road between Caminito Alto and Sycamore Test Road.
Amanda Walzer, 43, was riding in a 1956 Porsche that had only lap seat belts and no airbags.
When Choi's vehicle traveled over the raised median, it collided with the Porsche, killing Walzer and injuring the Porsche driver.
Choi's first trial ended in a mistrial. Her attorney Stephen G. Cline told jurors that his client cannot be convicted of murder because his client had been sold Jupiter OG after a brief visit to a licensed medical marijuana dispensary.
Choi "made a naive and negligent mistake," he said, adding the lack of training of marijuana dispensary staff compounded the issue.
Choi, who had a medicinal marijuana card for social anxiety disorder, purchased the marijuana based on the packaging after "roughly 9 minutes" of consultation with dispensary employees, Cline said.
He said she pulled over on her way home, took a couple of puffs and started driving.
The collision took place approximately six miles from the dispensary.
Cline said his client lost her hearing as well as control over her arms and legs before the crash.
“She had no idea what she left that store with in regards to strength,” the attorney told jurors.
Officers found two different types of marijuana in Choi's vehicle as well as a marijuana pipe that was still warm to the touch, the prosecutor said.
Aguilar said there will be a meeting later this week to discuss whether to retry Choi on the murder charge.

‘Social Anxiety’ Marijuana-Smoker Convicted of Vehicular Manslaughter
POSTED BY KEN STONE ON JANUARY 28, 2019
A woman under the influence of marijuana when she caused a head-on collision near Scripps Ranch that killed a passenger in the other car was convicted Monday of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and DUI causing injury.
Jurors, however, deadlocked 10-2 on a second-degree murder charge against 36-year-old Hyun Jeong Choi. The prosecution will return to court Friday to inform Judge Joan Weber if it plans to re-try Choi for murder in the March 27, 2016, crash that killed 43-year-old Amanda Walzer and left her fiance, 49-year-old Jon Warshawsky, with a traumatic brain injury.
Choi’s first trial ended in a mistrial last June when an officer testified about something that wasn’t in any report.
Deputy District Attorney Andrew Aguilar said Choi pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of alcohol in 2013 and was given several warnings about the dangers of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Aguilar said that just before the fatal collision, Choi had smoked marijuana she purchased at a nearby dispensary. An open bag of marijuana and a freshly used marijuana pipe were found in the defendant’s vehicle after the crash, the prosecutor said.
After she was released from the hospital, Choi admitted she “tried to fight it” and “tried to get home” after smoking the marijuana she had just bought.
Defense attorney Stephen Cline told the jury that Choi made a “naive and negligent mistake” by purchasing what she thought was the same kind of medical marijuana she had used before to calm her social anxiety.
When Choi returned from traveling overseas, her usual dispensary was gone and she purchased what she thought was the same type of marijuana that had helped her before from a dispensary in the Miramar area, Cline said.
The attorney said there were no warnings about the strength and potency of the marijuana, which had an immediate impact on Choi.
“She had no idea what she left that store with,” her attorney said. “She was impaired. Catastrophically impaired.”
Witness Regis Kodzi testified that he and his wife were traveling on Pomerado Road behind Warshawsky’s 1956 Porsche when Choi’s Toyota Corolla crossed a center divider and hit the vintage sports car head-on about 5:30 p.m.
