Judge Denies Bail for Doctor Accused of Trying to Kill Wife
- A judge rejected efforts to keep confidential the divorce case of Hawaii anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig, who faces charges related to an alleged assault on his wife during a hike in Honolulu last March.
- The denial followed motions filed by Konig's wife to protect their young children’s privacy after she filed for divorce last month and accused him of assault and sexual abuse.
- Prosecutors state Konig pushed his wife toward a cliff edge, tried to inject her with a syringe, and bashed her head with a rock during the incident.
- Konig remains held without bail while facing criminal charges, and his wife's attorney requested the public respect their privacy during this difficult time.
- The judge ruled cameras may record the proceedings except when discussing the couple’s two children under five, emphasizing no law requires privacy in divorce cases.
