The defendant Gerhardt Konig continued to take the stand on Wednesday where he explained the moment he discovered his wife Arielle deleting WhatsApp messages in real time, which revealed intimate conversations with a co-worker. The messages suggested an affair, with texts and photos exchanged throughout the day even while she was on a trip. After confronting her in San Luis Obispo, Arielle admitted to the affair and expressed remorse. The couple decided to work on their marriage rather than separate, with guidance from friends who had recently faced infidelity.
