Son Sealed Guilty Verdict of Gerhardt Konig

 

I watched much more of the testimony than I'd planned, and I believe justice was served in finding Dr. Gerhardt Konig guilty of attempted manslaughter. A better defense lawyer just might have gotten him off. But then again, he was convicted on the facts and witnesses for the prosecution.

The Facts:

GK bashed wife in the head with a rock causing serious injury

The bloody rock was found by police and identified as the assault weapon

GK evaded capture for eight hours

GK made two phone calls to son 

1. confessed his attempt to kill wife in first call

2. asked son in second call if he told anybody about his confession

3. he never said wife attacked him nor did he ask about her condition

GK ran from police when spotted and put up resistance when arrested

GK came up with self-defense story of wife attacking him first with rock 

GK found guilty

To think that a father would put his 19-year-old son through an emotional challenge of truth and consequences in front of the world to see says so much about Gerhardt Konig as a parent. Some have said he displays narcissistic behavior. After watching him testify and letting his defense attorney attempt to break his son on the witness stand, I agree that from the moment GK assaulted his wife his one and only concern was how to get away with what he did.

As for his defense attorney, a Mr. Thomas Otake, he was very easy to dislike and didn't seem as polished an attorney as one would expect for such a high-profile case as this. I'm no lawyer, but I've been a juror a number of times and feel an attorney's credibility is as much on display as the witnesses'. His choppy speech patterns and obfuscation of the facts seemed more exposing of a defense coverup than to shed any doubt on the evidence. 

Obfuscate: baffle, bewilder, confuse, discombobulate, fog, perplex, puzzle, stupefy, stupor

When Mr. Otake showed audio/video of the victim being treated for her wounds he asked the jury to close their eyes and not look but listen to the victim. Well, we a home watching didn't close our eyes. We watched this beaten and bloody woman who survived possibly being thrown off a mountain cliff looking the part of any heroic survivor. She fought for her life, for her children, and for the many women who find themselves victims of a man they thought loved them. 

National Domestic Violence Hotline

Instead of a loving birthday outing this man, a doctor of anesthesiology, turned into a jealous, hateful, murderous monster who unleashed scarring physical and emotional pain on the woman he once loved enough to marry and have children by.

Arielle Konig fought a good fight and is alive today thanks to her will to survive. Also, she owes much thankful prayers to the blessing of two angels appearing on the hiking path to distract and thwart a murderous attack by her husband, Gerhardt Konig.

GUILTY!

guilty pleasure: there were times throughout this trial that I envisioned having Mr. Konig and/or his attorney placed flat on their back on the cliffside mountain trail while a woman straddled and struck them at least two times in the head with the evidential lava rock. I know, I'm gonna die and burn in hell! Lord forgive this sinner....

Iran War Cause - Presidential Dementia Decline

 

Dr. John Gartner of Duty to Warn explained to SiriusXM radio's Dean Obeidallah that the White House is in full cover up mode of Trump's dementia. He noted that polls show that 60% of Americans now see Trump's cognitive slide yet the White House is hiding the fact Trump is unable to discharge his duties and should be removed via the 25th Amendment.

Forget the fearful thought of a U.S. Presidential King. Our most dire and urgent concern should be the "progressive decline in memory, thinking, and physical function" of a sitting U.S. President. It is not just a case of the "Emperor Has No Clothes," he is drowning in his own malignant narcissism, too fearful of appearing weak to grab onto a life preserver and save himself. And like any flopping, drowning person, they endanger taking down those trying to save them.

Dr. John Gartner makes a very convincing case for using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office based on his disabling cognitive slide and inability to discharge his duties effectively as President of the United States. The doctor's warning is urgent in that the damage he is causing to the country and worldwide will only get worse as his cognitive capacity declines due to dementia.

My thought is that perhaps he is far too gone to be accountable for his actions, but those advising and consenting to his whims are cognitive of their actions and should be held accountable. And they can never say, "I was merely following orders," (Nuremberg Defense).

No Kings III

Second Cabinet of Donald Trump

One of the less crude yet still gets its point across signs I saw at yesterday's "No Kings SF" peaceful protest. American citizens from all walks of life gathered, socialized, shared thoughts and opinions, and agreed that this Trump Administration is a "bad cabinet" which doesn't hold anything constitutional or truthful safely on its shelves. Instead, it is a cabinet put together to hide and deflect from the lies, corruption, hatreds, wars and weaknesses of one little man.

"I've Seen Better Cabinets At Ikea"

Americans of all backgrounds, and the world as a whole, are on to the grift and intimidation tactics of this little man and his flunkies. They showed up and showed out in droves across the country. Yesterday's message was clear; "when we fight, we win!"

Anyone concerned about the dismantling of America as the little man attempts to become a dominating king of a nation founded on "No Kings," needs to get involved at some level of protest. Take it from the mouth of the little man who wants to look big:

"We fight. We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." (Donald J. Trump, Jan. 6, 2021)

Former Raiders Center Passes

 

 Barett Robbins

8/26/73 - 3/25/26

Barett Robbins was the anchoring center piece of the last Raiders offensive line to dominate an NFL season and win an AFC Championship (2002). Unfortunately, his mental health issues forced him away from football and down dark paths with irrevocable consequences.

Barett's story is one of a good guy who suffered from a mental disability. To hear him tell it, when he went into a manic episode, he was basically sleepwalking and not conscious of his decisions. Depression is a real, all-powerful mental state and those suffering from it should seek help immediately. 

Help for Mental Illnesses - National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)

Barett played all nine seasons of his NFL career as a center for the Oakland Raiders (1995-2003). He was a first-team All-Pro earning a Pro Bowl invite in 2002. And when it comes to football legacy, he will always be honored as a Raider.

With Prayers and Condolences extended to the Robbins Family, I and Raider Nation are prayerful that Barett now Rests in Peace!

Sorry Jets - Start Spreading The News - Fernando Mendoza Will Be A Raider

Just heard ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky say Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza (6'5, 236 lbs.) is not the best quarterback coming into this year's NFL Draft. So, I researched the Alabama quarterback who Dan chose as the best, Ty Simpson. 

The first thing I noticed about Ty was his smaller size (6'1, 211lbs.). He incurred a number of injuries in his final college season which likely limited his play in the latter half. Second is his experience as a starter. He has one full season (2025) as a starter. Third, and the one everyone but Dan Orlovsky equates to best quarterback in the draft, is what we all saw Fernando Mendoza do throughout the season and CFP to win the National Championship. He was deservedly named MVP of the Championship Game, to go along with the Heisman Trophy awarded for his season of play.

So why would any informed, unbiased ESPN sports analyst pick what appears to be the second-best quarterback in the upcoming draft over the first? 

1. Last month Dan said he believes Ty Simpson's performance was more impressive than Fernando Mendoza's over the first eight games of the season before injuries limited Simpson. He see's limitations in Mendoza's passing game and credits a mostly clean pocket to his success. Perhaps, as one analyst commented about Dan's recent "Ty Simpson best quarterback in the draft" opinion, he is just doubling down on an earlier opinion that wasn't that popular in February.

2. My guess is Dan is just trying to foster doubt in the Raiders number one draft pick. Why? So, the New York Jets with the number two draft pick can get the truly best quarterback in the draft?  Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum also shares Dan's opinion of Ty Simpson. Smells like Dan might've gotten caught up in a poker game where, in over his head, he bet a bold draft take prediction and now has to produce commentary.

3. Or Dan Orlovsky is simply a sports genius, and we're all just deer caught in the sports headlights, too fearful or confused to see anyone but Fernando as the #1 pick.

The 2026 NFL Draft is April 23-26. Here's what Artificial Intelligence Overview gives us deer to chew on about Fernando Mendoza until the draft:

Madd Maxx Crosby - TRADED!

 

I don't like trading Maxx.

But I understand it.

First round draft picks are golden.

But #98 Maxx Crosby is a gamechanger. 

And he wore the Raiders uniform proudly.

I've always said I root for the uniform, and players come and go.

But then a player like Madd Maxx Crosby comes along. Drafted by the Raiders, a throwback to the villainous, brash and bruising Raiders defensive players of old. 

Simply put, Maxx has been our Autumn Wind since joining the team. A Rollicking, Swaggering, Boisterous Pirate. Pillaging just for fun.

He's been a bright spot in disappointing Raiders seasons of late. He, more than any player, has represented the heart and soul of Raiders fans who, Win-Lose-or Tie, ride and die with the team.

Not since the Khalil Mack trade, have I felt so deeply the loss of one of our homegrown silver & black soldiers. As of right now, I'm hearing B.B. King's bluesy voice belting out his signature tune "The Thrill is Gone."  And as B.B. so rightly closed it out, "All I can do is Wish You Well!"

Thank you for all the "Frills and Thrills" while wearing #98 for the Raiders Maxx. You'll always be a Raider in my book. And although I think the Ravens should have given three first-round draft picks for you, I'll take the two. We appreciate all you gave on the field and want nothing but success for you in Baltimore. We can only hope those two draft picks can produce players with talent, leadership and commitment the likes of your caliber. 

Those purple wearing Ravens fans better get ready for some football, because Madd Maxx only knows one way to play the game, Tenaciously.

Thank you for your Services Maxx!
