Judge Jeffrey Ferguson and his wife
Jeffrey Ferguson, 74, was found guilty of the Anaheim
Hills murder of his wife, Sheryl, 65, during a domestic disturbance over
money back in 2023. The judge was smart enough to admit that the
shooting had occurred but tried to claim an accident.
His
first trial ended in a hung jury back in March. Judge Ferguson claimed
that he was attempting to remove his artillery from an ankle holster
and the gun unintentionally discharged. Both the judge and his son
promptly called 911.
Ferguson
is a bit of a gun person and had 47 guns and a modest 26,000 rounds of
ammo at home. Among other things the prosecution used this as further
evidence that the judge was an experienced gun handler.
The
judge had been out on a $2 million bail but was taken into custody
Tuesday after the guilty verdict. He will be sentenced on June 13. He
could get 40 years as a guest of the people.
