@meghannmcuniff: A Maui anesthesiologist convicted of attempted manslaughter for trying to kill his wife on an O’ahu hiking trail will remain in jail at least until his sentencing, which a judge scheduled for Aug. 13. Deputy Prosecutor Joel Garner told reporters after the verdict today (Wednesday, April 8) that he’ll request Judge Paul B.K. Wong sentence Konig to prison. A jury deliberated about 8 1/2 hours over two days before finding Konig guilty of attempted manslaughter due to mental or emotional disturbance. You can watch the verdict being published here @Meghann Cuniff. Garner wanted jurors to convict Konig of attempted second-degree murder, and he opposed them being instructed about emotional disturbance. You can watch Judge Wong read the instruction here @Meghann Cuniff. Konig testified he hit his wife, Arielle Konig, in self-defense after she attacked him on the Pali Puka Trail on Oahu when they were celebrating her birthday last March 24, 2025. The couple was in counseling after he had found flirtatious text messages between her and a coworker. They moved to Maui from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 2023. #law #crime #court
