Prosecutors allege that an inebriated Ferguson — angered at his wife, Sheryl, mocking him — pulled out a Glock .40-caliber pistol he always carried in an ankle holster and intentionally shot her while the couple and their adult son were watching the television show “Breaking Bad” at their Anaheim Hills home.

The case of a Southern California judge charged with murder in his wife's fatal shooting has ended in a mistrial.

A mistrial was declared Monday in the trial against a California Superior Court judge accused of killing his wife after an Orange County jury failed to reach a verdict in the case.

Prosecutors have pledged to re-try Judge Jeffrey Ferguson after a jury deadlocked 11 to 1 in favor of second-degree murder in his recent trial.

The retrial for Jeff Ferguson has been set for April 2025 after a mistrial was initially declared in the case of the California judge's wife being shot to death.
