how many years will gerharth konig get for attempted manslaughter

1 minute ago 1
Nature

Gerhardt Konig is reported to face up to 20 years in prison for the attempted manslaughter conviction, with sentencing scheduled for Aug. 13.

What that means

The jury found him guilty of attempted manslaughter, not the higher attempted murder charge.

That distinction matters because the maximum penalty reported for this verdict is lower than what he would have faced on the attempted murder charge.

Current status

The case is not finished yet because sentencing still has to happen, and an appeal has already been signaled.

So the exact number of years he will get is not set yet; the current reported cap is 20 years.

TL;DR

  • Reported exposure: up to 20 years.
  • Final sentence: not decided yet.
  • Next date: sentencing on Aug. 13.
