(Honululu, HI) On Tuesday, a judge refused a release on bail for a doctor who used to work at UPMC who is facing a charge of attempted murder after trying to kill his wife in Hawaii. Forty-six-year-old Gerhardt Konig has plead not guilty to the charge even though his wife got a temporary restraining order written. Konig hit his wife with a rock on a trail for hiking in Hawaii when she did not take a selfie near the edge of a cliff and she has filed for divorce since then.
