Hawaii doctor’s testimony in his attempted murder trial makes this a case of ‘she said, he said’
Gerhardt Konig and Arielle Konig offered conflicting accounts as jurors heard testimony about a rock attack, a syringe and a struggle near a cliff.
- In a Honolulu courtroom, Dr. Gerhardt Konig testified this week he struck his wife, Arielle Konig, in self-defense during an Oahu hike, contradicting her allegations of attempted murder on her 36th birthday.
- The couple visited Oahu for Arielle's 36th birthday last year while navigating a rocky marriage after she admitted an emotional affair. When Gerhardt confronted her in December 2024, he was angry and upset, she said.
- Arielle testified Gerhardt pushed her toward a cliff and bashed her head around 10 times with a rock. Gerhardt claimed he wrestled the rock away, hitting her two times only after she shoved him near the edge.

- Gerhardt Konig has pleaded not guilty to second-degree attempted murder. If convicted, he faces a potential life sentence with the possibility of parole, as the jury weighs the conflicting testimonies at trial's heart.
