The defense gave its opening statement in the case against Dr. Gerhardt Konig on Thursday. They claim that there was no premeditated plan for Konig to kill his wife on the mountain that day, and she was the one who began the fight. Konig allegedly pushed his wife towards the edge of a cliff, tried to inject her with a syringe, and struck her repeatedly with a lava rock. They say the three important words in this case are unfaithful, unwilling, and untrue.
