"Emile Konig testified that his father called him after the alleged attack, saying, 'That he would not be making it back to Maui and to take good care of the younger kids and that he had - that Ari, my stepmom, had been cheating on him and that he tried to kill her.'"
"Prosecutors allege Dr. Konig first tried pushing his wife Arielle off a Hawaiian cliffside, and attempted injecting her with a syringe, before repeatedly smashing her head with a jagged rock."
"During Emile's cross examination, they pointed out there were some parts of his testimony that were inconsistent, suggesting a complex narrative surrounding the events of that day."
Gerhardt Konig faces second-degree attempted murder charges for allegedly attacking his wife, Arielle, on March 24, 2025. His son, Emile, testified that Gerhardt confessed to him about the attack, claiming Arielle had been unfaithful. Prosecutors allege Gerhardt attempted to push Arielle off a cliff and later struck her with a rock. Emile recounted a chilling phone call where Gerhardt mentioned blood on his shirt and expressed intentions to evade police. The defense argues Gerhardt acted in self-defense after being attacked by Arielle first.
