His lawyers call it an "accident," while prosecutors say the judge fired at his wife after she said, "Why don't you point a real gun at me?" -- and then texted coworkers, "I just shot my wife. I won't be in tomorrow."Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson, 72, was arrested last week for the shooting death of his wife Sheryl.
he has since been charged with one felony count of murder, one felony enhancement of personal use of a firearm, and one felony enhancement of discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury and death. According to paperwork filed by prosecutors on Thursday night , the two were out to dinner at a restaurant on August 3 when they started arguing. During the argument, Ferguson allegedly made"a hand gesture indicative of pointing a gun at her."
Upon returning to their Anaheim Hills home, the fight continued -- and Sheryl allegedly said something like,"Why don't you point a real gun at me?" to her husband. He's accused of then pulling a Glock .40 from his ankle holster, before shooting her in the chest; the bullet reportedly exited through her back and hit the wall behind her.
