Gerhardt Konig pleaded not guilty to an attempted murder charge in a Hawaii court after allegedly trying to kill his wife during a hike. She claimed he pushed her toward a cliff, attempted to inject her, and struck her with a rock. Since his March indictment, Konig has been held without bail. His defense attorney aims to file for bail, citing Konig's lack of a criminal record. A restraining order has been placed against him, prohibiting contact with his wife and children. If found guilty, Konig faces a potential life sentence.
Defense attorney Thomas Otake told the judge he plans to file a motion requesting bail. There should be some bail because Konig has no prior criminal record, Otake said.
Dr. Konig's not guilty plea this morning was not just a formality, but a substantive response to the allegation that he tried to kill his wife.
The other side to this story will be shared within the court process at the appropriate time.
If convicted, Konig could face life in prison.
