What If You Had No Knowledge Of Marijuana’s Strength? As reported by NBC Los Angeles, a woman was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter following a deadly crash. Prior to the DUI accident, the woman had smoked marijuana, but her defense lawyer has argued that his client had no knowledge that the strain of marijuana would be so potent or that she would suffer such an unusual reaction that caused the crash. The criminal defense attorney argued that Hyun Jeong Choi had unknowingly smoked a very potent strain of weed prior to the DUI crash.
How Did The Deadly DUI Crash Occur? The DUI accident took place on Pomerado Road between Caminito Alto and Sycamore Test Roadin March 2016. Choi, the San Diego woman who smoked marijuana, crashed into an oncoming vintage Porsche, killing its passenger and injuring the driver. The woman was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter for causing the crash while operating a car under the influence of marijuana. Choi had faced a charge of second-degree murder but jurors dismissed the charge because they remained deadlocked 10 to 2 for guilty on the primary charge. The reason the two jurors disagreed with the rest was because they did not think that the facts of the 2016 DUI crash could meet the legal definition of “implied malice,” which is required for the murder charge.
