A Hawaii doctor has been found guilty of attempting to kill his wife during a hike in 2020. The incident took place in September 2020 when Dr. Peter Smith allegedly pushed his wife, Mary, off a cliff while they were hiking in Maunawili Falls in Oahu. Fortunately, Mary survived the fall and was able to get help.
During the trial, Dr. Smith claimed that the incident was a tragic accident and that he did not intend to harm his wife. However, prosecutors presented evidence suggesting otherwise, including eyewitness testimonies and Mary’s account of the events.
The jury ultimately found Dr. Smith guilty of attempted murder. The motive behind the alleged attempt on his wife’s life remains unclear, as both parties have not publicly disclosed any specific reasons for the incident.
Dr. Smith’s sentencing is scheduled for next month, where he could face a lengthy prison term for his actions. The case has shocked the local community, as Dr. Smith was well-known and respected in the medical field.
The Smith family has declined to comment on the verdict, stating that they are focusing on supporting Mary as she continues to recover from the traumatic experience.
