Jurors View Bodycam Video in Trial of Hawaii Anesthesiologist Accused of Attacking Wife

The defense says he acted in self-defense.

Overview

  • Jurors in Hawaii saw police bodycam footage and other evidence this week as the attempted murder trial of Gerhardt Konig moved forward.
  • The video shows Arielle Konig bloodied and unsteady on a steep Oahu trail as bystanders help her and medics wrap her head.
  • Prosecutors allege Konig tried to shove her toward a drop, pulled out a syringe, and then hit her in the head with a rock.
  • Prosecutors also pointed to a recorded call in which Konig allegedly said, "I tried to kill Arielle, but she got away."
  • Konig has pleaded not guilty, and his lawyers say Arielle started the fight and he struck her to protect himself.
