Defendant Gerhardt Konig testified that after the altercation with his wife, he was in severe emotional distress and felt hopeless over the state of his marriage and the injuries she sustained. He said he never intended to hurt her and acted in self-defense, but the incident left him suicidal, prompting a last-minute FaceTime call to his son to say goodbye. During the call, he recounted the affair and Arielle’s injuries, while clarifying he did not attempt to kill her despite her accusations.
