Hawaii doctor accused of trying to kill wife on hiking trail testifies he was defending himself - ABC News

The physician testified that he acted in self-defense during the hiking incident, a claim prosecutors disputed as they presented evidence of an attempted homicide; jurors later convicted him of attempted manslaughter, a lesser charge than the original attempted murder allegation. The trial has become a high-profile domestic violence prosecution and has been compared to other recent spousal attack cases. A separate Tennessee case—where a veteran accused of shooting his wife was later found dead in an apparent suicide after a manhunt—underscores the range of outcomes in alleged spouse attacks, from contested self-defense claims to suspects dying before full accountability.
