Dr. Gerhardt Konig, an anesthesiologist from Hawaii, is charged with second-degree attempted murder for pushing his wife, Arielle Konig to the edge of a cliff edge and attempting to inject her with a syringe and repeatedly hitting her head with a rock. His testimony contradicts his wife's account, which contradicts that of his husband, who claimed self-defense. Gerhard Konig is the latest defendant in a high-profile case to testify in their own defense, a risky move since it subjects them to cross-examination. If convicted, Gerhardt could face a life sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole. The trial also featured harrowing testimony from Gerhardt's son, who said his father confessed to the attack in a FaceTime call.
