Lead Detective Knew the Rock Was Moved and Never Wrote It Down in Gerhardt Konig Trial

He ran the investigation. He knew the rock was moved before it was photographed. And he never documented it. Detective Tracy Spacek has been with the Honolulu Police Department for 21 years. He was assigned as lead investigator on the attempted murder case against Gerhardt Konig, overseeing at least 13 HPD divisions, coordinating with DOCARE and HFD, and preparing four search warrants. The prosecution called him to walk the jury through the physical evidence: the jagged lava rock that weighed one pound two ounces, the defendant's sling bag recovered at arrest, and a Nike work bag full of medical supplies shipped from Maui after Arielle Konig found it and contacted her attorney. But watch what happens when defense attorney Tommy Otake stands up. He spends less than seven minutes on cross and asks three targeted questions that land harder than the entire direct examination. Pay attention to the moment about the rock. And stay past the jury being excused, because the attorneys then fight over the scope of the most consequential testimony still to come in this trial. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 0:08 to 9:11 - Spacek takes the stand, confirms his role, and walks the jury through the rock. He retrieved it from the evidence room, photographed it, weighed it, and measured it. The number on the scale: one pound, two ounces. That number now exists for closing arguments. 9:56 to 22:52 - The bag the defendant was fighting over when three officers tackled him. Spacek walks through every pocket of the Patagonia sling bag. Sunglasses. A whistle. An iPhone that was off with the SIM card pulled out and sitting loose. A money clip with cash and cards. No syringe. No vial. Nothing incriminating. 23:39 to 32:04 - The Nike fanny bag from Maui. Arielle found it at the residence and contacted her attorney, who contacted Maui police, who sealed and shipped it to HPD. Inside: a stethoscope, syringes, medication vials, IV bags, and the defendant's work ID badge. The prosecution wants the jury to see the syringes. The defense wants them to see the work badge. 32:48 to 35:10 - Five evidence negatives from the lead detective's own mouth. No syringes recovered. No vials. No phone. No purse. No syringes on the defendant at arrest. Thirteen divisions searched and came back with nothing. 35:10 to 42:05 - Cross-examination. Less than seven minutes. Otake confirms Spacek interviewed Jeff Miller and has his contact information. Then the rock. Spacek admits he knew the rock was not in its original location when the evidence specialist photographed it. Did he document that? No. The lead detective knew and never wrote it down. 42:45 to end - After the jury leaves, the attorneys fight over how far Emile Konig can go when he testifies. The defense says limit him to his recorded police interview. The prosecution says he told three other people what his father said. The judge confirms undisclosed statements are precluded. This is the setup for the most important testimony of the trial. --- READ THE FULL ANALYSIS justiceisaprocess.com SUBSCRIBE for daily trial coverage and hit the notification bell so you never miss testimony.
