Authorities say Kuehl was texting while driving when he allegedly hit a pedestrian in Newport Beach last August.

Martha Ovalle, 32, was killed.

Kuehl says he was targeted because he was already on probation for a different case.

He faces nine years in prison if convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter.
