Welcome to the M.K. True Crime Show.

I'm Dave Aaronberg, former state attorney from Palm Beach County, Florida, and current managing partner of Dave Aaronberg Law. I'm joined today by my co-host, Ashley Merchant, criminal defense attorney from Atlanta, GA, although originally from the Sunshine State. Hello, Ashley. Hey, how are you? I'm doing great. You know, I'm the Florida lawman, but I'm on the road today. We're heading to CrimeCon, and we're both very excited. We can't wait to meet people and talk about true crime. Let's go over what we have on the docket today. The Maui doctor convicted last month of attempted manslaughter for trying to push his wife off a cliff. Wants a redo. We'll discuss how post-trial comments from the jury might make for a successful appeal.

Why do they keep commenting?

Prosperators hate that.

I know, I know.

And we've got an update in a case against the school administrator who is charged with negligence

for allowing a six-year-old to stay in class after the school received reports that this child had a gun.

We'll talk about why the charges were dismissed and how that's actually good news for the shooting victim.

Joining us later, behavioral scientists and host of the I Don't Belong Here show on YouTube.

Samantha Benigno will share her insights on McKenzie's shrillow and what Netflix's The Crash can tell us about the

hell on wheels double murderer. Ashley, let's start with a Gerhard Koenig appeal. This is the case

we've been talking a lot about on our show. I thought it was done, right? He was convicted of

manslaughter, not exactly murder, but, you know, decent. And now he is ready to appeal. What's the deal? Yeah, so apparently his lawyers got a, you know, got some news that some of the jurors may have had second thoughts. And, you know, that's not that uncommon. But let's just kind of catch our viewers up on what happened in this case. So this is the case out in Hawaii where Mr. Koenig, he's a doctor, or was a doctor, I guess he's not going to be for much

longer, but he was charged with second degree attempted murder for assaulting his wife, Ariel Koenig.

They were on a cliffside hike back in March of 2025. They were celebrating her birthday

and apparently trying to repair their relationship after she had

had an out-of-state affair with a colleague.
