周二，阿里埃尔·科尼格（Arielle Konig）出庭作证，指控她的丈夫——麻醉师格哈特·科尼格（Gerhardt Konig）。这起案件距离去年他在夏威夷徒步旅行时涉嫌将她推下悬崖谋杀她的事件恰好过去了一周年。
“我走向他，他非常用力地抓住我的上臂，说：‘我受够了这些破事。回到那边去。’然后他开始把我往悬崖边推，”她在激动人心的证词中说道。
她作证称，格哈特·科尼格试图用注射器刺伤她，当这一企图失败后，他还用石头反复猛击她的头部。
“他说，‘你完了。我们和你完了。我们不再需要你了。你完了。你完了，’”她在法庭上说道。
格哈特·科尼格曾在夏威夷麻醉医疗集团工作，此前还曾在匹兹堡大学医学中心担任麻醉师。他被指控犯有二级谋杀未遂罪。
检察官指控，在阿里埃尔·科尼格拒绝在瓦胡岛帕利普卡步道悬崖边缘附近自拍后，这位医生试图杀害她。根据阿里埃尔·科尼格去年申请临时限制令时提交的文件，这对夫妇当时正在庆祝她的生日。
据美联社报道，阿里埃尔·科尼格于2025年5月提出离婚。
护士莎拉·巴克博姆（Sarah Bucksbom）目睹了这起被指控的袭击事件，并拨打了911报警。
“她的脸上全是血，头上也全是血——她浑身都是血，”巴克博姆告诉法庭。
格哈特·科尼格的律师在开庭陈述中声称，他的妻子——一名核工程师——在他发现她有外遇后先袭击了他。
“她捡起一块石头砸向他的脸，他迅速做出反应——这是人的本能反应，抓起石头打了她两次，然后停手了，”托马斯·大竹（Thomas Otake）律师辩称。
大竹律师指出，事件发生后，格哈特·科尼格曾给他19岁的儿子打电话，称自己要自杀。
“他打电话给儿子告别，打电话道歉，打电话说他希望自己能成为一个更好的人，”律师说道。
另一方面，检察官称这通电话是认罪。
“他说，‘我回不去了。我试图杀害阿里埃尔，但她逃脱了，’”副检察官乔尔·加纳（Joel Garner）辩称。
目前尚不清楚格哈特·科尼格或他的儿子是否会在审判中作证。如果罪名成立，他最高可能面临终身监禁。

Wife of Hawaii doctor takes stand exactly 1 year after he allegedly tried to kill her
March 24, 2026 / 8:49 PM EDT / CBS News
Arielle Konig took the stand on Tuesday to testify against her husband, anesthesiologist Gerhardt Konig, exactly one year after he allegedly tried to kill her by pushing her off a cliff during a hike in Hawaii.
“I walked up to him, he grabbed me really forcibly by my upper arms and he said, ‘I’m so f sick of this s***. Get back over there.’ And he starts pushing me back towards the cliff,” she said during her dramatic testimony.
She testified that Gerhardt Konig attempted to stab her with a syringe and, when that failed, she said he repeatedly bashed her head with a rock.
“He’s saying, like, ‘You’re done. We’re done with you. We don’t need you anymore. You’re done. You’re done,’” she said on the stand.
Gerhardt Konig, who worked with the Anesthesia Medical Group in Hawaii and was previously an anesthesiologist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, is charged with second-degree attempted murder.
Prosecutors are accusing the doctor of trying to kill Arielle Konig after she refused to take a selfie near the edge of a cliff along the Pali Puka trail on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. The couple was on a trip celebrating Arielle Konig’s birthday, according to a petition she filed last year requesting a temporary restraining order.
Arielle Konig filed for divorce in May 2025, according to The Associated Press.
Nurse Sarah Bucksbom witnessed the alleged attack and called 911.
“Her face was covered in blood. Her head was covered in — she was just fully covered in blood,” Bucksbom told the court.
Gerhardt Konig’s attorney claimed during opening statements that his wife, a nuclear engineer, was the one who attacked him after he confronted her about an affair.
“She picks up a rock and hits him in the face with it, and he quickly reacts, human reaction, grabs the rock, hits her twice, and stops,” Thomas Otake argued.
Otake pointed to a call Gerhardt Konig made after the incident during which he told his 19-year-old son that he was going to kill himself.
“He was calling him to say goodbye. He was calling him to tell him he was sorry. He was calling him to tell him he wished he was a better man,” the lawyer said.
The prosecution, on the other hand, said the call was a confession.
“He says, ‘I am not going to make it back. I tried to kill Arielle, but she got away,’” deputy prosecuting attorney Joel Garner argued.
It’s still not clear if Gerhardt Konig or his son will testify in the trial. He faces up to life in prison if he’s convicted.
