Kelly Soo Park, during opening statements of her murder trial.
Park was acquitted of murdering Juliana Redding on 6/4/13.
UPDATE 9/16: MyNewsLA.com has a report from City News Service that has a bit more information. Park's next court appearance will be September 25 in Dept. 109, the same judge for Park's murder trial. Park is again represented by George Buehler. There was also this interesting bit of news in the article:
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin ordered Kelly Park, 49, to remain jailed in lieu of $18.5 million bail while awaiting a hearing Sept. 25.
(snip)
Deputy District Attorney Dayan Mathai told Brandlin that the District Attorney’s Office objected to attorney and former prosecutor Alan Jackson — who had handled the District Attorney’s murder case against Park for a time — representing one of the defendants. The judge said that matter can be dealt with by Kennedy at the hearing next week.Tuesday, September 15, 2015.

Can't get the Scribd link to Kelly's indictment.
The link to the indictment has been fixed.
I recall Park sued the Santa Monica Police Department right after her acquittal. A judge threw the suit out.
David in TN:
If I recall correctly, Park sued Karen Thompson. That suit was thrown out. Allegedly, Park refiled. I expect the second suit was thrown out also.
Dr. Uwaydah was instrumental in getting Park out on bond for her murder trial, it will be interesting to see if she is able to make bail this time since Uwaydah has also been arrested in Germany.
I expect there will be a fight in Germany to fight the extradition.
Hallelujah! I am so impressed with LA County's DA office! It was always my belief that Dr. Uwaydah was involved up to his eyeballs in Julia's murder; at least peripherally.
Some folks just have to learn the hard way.....😊
