Mistrial Declared In Case Of California Judge Accused Of Murdering Wife

Huff Post  

SANTA ANA, Calif. — A judge declared a mistrial Monday in the case of a Southern California judge charged with murder for fatally shooting his wife, the prosecutor’s office said. Jurors in a Santa Ana courtroom could not reach a unanimous verdict in the case against now-74-year-old Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson, said Kimberly Edds, a spokesperson for the county’s District Attorney’s office. The case was heard in a courtroom about 10 miles from where Ferguson presided over criminal cases as a judge and included extensive video footage of Ferguson talking to police outside his home after the shooting and after he was taken into custody. Authorities said they found 47 weapons, including the gun used in the shooting, and more than 26,000 rounds of ammunition at Ferguson’s home and that the long-time former prosecutor had ample experience and training in operating firearms and in handling criminal cases involving gun violence.
