Arielle Konig testified that her husband, Dr. Gerhardt Konig, violently attacked her on a birthday hike in Hawaii by pushing her toward a cliff, attempting to inject her with a syringe, and hitting her with a rock. The attack occurred three months after Gerhardt discovered Arielle’s emotional affair, despite their efforts at counseling. Gerhardt, who pleaded not guilty and claims self-defense, faces second-degree attempted murder charges and a potential life sentence if convicted.
