Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson faces a retrial on April 7 after his first trial resulted in a deadlocked jury regarding the fatal shooting of his wife. The prosecution claims Ferguson shot his wife, Sheryl, intentionally during an argument, while he argues it was an accident. The previous jury deliberated for over nine days before failing to reach a verdict, leaning towards second-degree murder but with indications that a hold-out juror preferred a lesser manslaughter conviction. Judge Hunter has denied requests for delaying the retrial.
The upcoming retrial for Judge Jeffrey Ferguson is set for April 7, just weeks after his first trial ended with a hung jury, underscoring a swift legal process.
Prosecutors claim that Ferguson intentionally shot his wife during an argument, while he maintains that her death was an unfortunate accident caused by fumbling the gun.
