A 47-year-old Hawaii anesthesiologist, Gerhardt Konig, was convicted of attempted manslaughter for allegedly trying to kill his wife during a scenic cliffside hike, after jurors returned a verdict on the lesser offense. He testified he acted in self-defense while prosecutors argued the encounter was an attempted homicide. Konig’s conviction, alongside the recent killing of former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax’s wife and his subsequent suicide, highlights continued public attention on high-profile domestic violence cases and criminal accountability for alleged violence against spouses.
