However, Todd Spitzer, the Orange County District Attorney, voiced concerns over the judge’s potential flight risk.
As Spitzer keenly observed, someone of Ferguson’s stature and age, intimately familiar with the justice system, would be all too aware of the stark reality: a conviction might mean dying behind bars.
To the tumult, Ferguson’s defense attorneys, Meyer and Barnett, weighed in on the tragedy, stating: “It was an accident and nothing more.”
The Tense Dinner
Delving into the specifics, a heated dispute erupted between the Fergusons at a nearby eatery, where the judge, in a foreboding gesture, pointed a finger at his wife mimicking a gun.
As the evening progressed, the couple, joined by their son, continued their fiery exchange at home.
In a chilling twist, Sheryl Ferguson challenged her husband, referencing his earlier finger-gun gesture, urging him to “point a real gun” at her.
Tragically, the judge obliged, firing a Glock .40 pistol from his ankle holster.
Rapid Responses
The son wasted no time in alerting authorities.
