After over eight hours of deliberations, a Hawaii jury found Dr. Gerhardt Konig guilty of attempted manslaughter after investigators believed he tried to kill his wife, Arielle, on a hiking trail on her birthday. Prosecutors claimed Dr. Konig tried to push Arielle off a cliff, then beat her with a lava rock and stabbed her with a syringe amid anger over an alleged affair.
