Hawaii anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig has been convicted of attempted murder after he was accused of trying to kill his wife, Arielle Konig, during a 2025 hike. A Honolulu jury deliberated for one day before they returned the verdict against Gerhardt, 47, on Wednesday, April 8. Gerhardt was convicted of attempted manslaughter based on extreme mental or emotional disturbance, which means he could face up to 20 years in prison. Gerhardt's sentencing hearing is scheduled to take place on August 13. After the verdict was revealed, Gerhardt's attorney, Thomas Otake, said he planned to appeal.
