Jaime Ferguson, a 74-year-old judge in Orange County, was convicted of second-degree murder for fatally shooting his wife during an argument at home. The jury, which reached its decision after a previous mistrial, found that Ferguson shot his wife, Sheryl, while under the influence of alcohol. Ferguson claimed the shooting was accidental while prosecutors argued it was not, given his experience with firearms. He faces a maximum sentence of 40 years to life as an emotional case unfolds in the community, prompting further review of his past judicial decisions.
