Pathologist Jonathan Arden's Entire Cross-Exam In Gerhardt Konig's Attempted Murder Trial

Jonathan Arden is a pathologist and retired medical examiner who was hired by Gerhardt Konig's lawyers in his attempted murder case to analyze his wife's injuries. Arden testified in direct-exam (   • Pathologist Says Hawaii Woman's Scalp Inju...  ) that Arielle Konig's injuries weren't as bad as the bleeding indicated and aren't consistent with being struck multiple times at full force with a lava rock. (Gerhardt's defense is that he only hit Arielle out of self defense after she attacked him.) Deputy Prosecutor Joel Garner questioned him in cross-examination. 04:02 "in your entire career, can you estimate how many police reports you've reviewed?" "No, too many to count." 09:09 "I'm going to ask you, Doctor, how much do you charge per hour?" "$700 an hour, is that the charge for the consultation and the report writing." 09:28 "for court appearance out of town, when I have to travel? It's a flat $7,000 for the day." 15:50 "As I testified here today, my my assignment was to assess her injuries and and provide consultation, and specifically what you just said, to compare her injuries to her accounts of how they were caused." 17:09 "Dr. Arden, one of your major conclusions that you testified to and you put in your report was that you do not believe that aerial was struck in the head with 10 blows. Is that right?" "Correct." "Dr. Arden, isn't it true that Arielle Konig never said she got hit 10 times in the head, right? She said, up to or about 10 times." "Yes, the number that she used in the descriptions was 10, but she didn't say absolutely it was 10. She said, up to 10." 17:55 "I didn't say in my report that she said she was struck 10 times, and that was the only statement she made, but the only number that she cited was 10, and so that was kind of a landmark for me to respond to." 24:48 "You didn't include anything in your report about it being harder to hit somebody that's fighting back. Is that right?" "Correct." 28:06 "Now you wrote in your report that you believed Ms. Konnig's concussion symptoms were, quote, entirely self reported. Is that right?" "Yes, sir." "And that means you were essentially saying you didn't see any physical evidence to corroborate what you said about concussion. Is that right?" "Well, not sure if it's just physical evidence. There was no medical evidence of any condition that indicated a concussion other than what she self reported, there can be verifiable, objective findings that are supportive of concussion." 29:21 "Dr Arden, isn't it true that the Queen's medical reports list that Arielle Konig vomited three times in the ambulance on the way to Queen's?" "Yes, sir." "Vomiting and nausea go together, correct?" "Commonly, not necessarily so." 35:24 "And that statement is essentially saying that Ariel Koenig was trying to block with her hand. Is that right?" "Yes." "Arielle Konig, according to the statement, was trying to block the rock with her hand, right?" "Yes." "And she suffered a crushing injury to her thumb, right?" "Correct." 35:51 "I deemed it separate from her head injury. She has a thumb injury. She has head injuries. The thrust of my opinions were assessing her head injury. I didn't ignore the thumb injury. I didn't omit it from the report, but I didn't discuss it or opine on it. " 42:19 "Dr. Arden, you never state in your report that the injuries went all the way through down to the skull. Is that right?" "You are correct that that specific detail is not in my report." 44:41 "I can't tell from that photo how deep the injury is. We've already established, and I've agreed in testimony that it went through the full thickness of the scalp down to the skull bone. This photo is not demonstrating that." 46:14 "And you stated in your report that there were no injuries to the back of Arielle's head?" "Correct, I did." "You said nothing about the environment of where her head was hit on the ground, correct?" 47:12 "The bottom line was, there were no injuries to corroborate that aspect of her account, and that was what I was commenting on." 49:14 "Are you ready to talk about bias in general?" "Sure." "now it came up on your direct examination that you have a prior business relationship with Mr. Otake. Is that right?" "Yes, sir." 51:03 "I tell lots of lawyers that their clients are screwed, and you know that's what happens. Sometimes the truth hurts, but that's what they get from me." 51:12 "Dr Arden, your interest in future business encourages you to ignore the facts that are bad for your conclusion, isn't that right?" "No, not right." 01:03:58 "Dr. Arden, you also have a long history of going on the news, correct?" "There was a period of time when I did talking head kind of things on news programs." "Yes, I haven't done it in a number of years, but for a while I did." **************** Subscribe to Legal Affairs and Trials with Meghann Cuniff: https://www.legalaffairsandtrials.com...
