Jeffrey Ferguson, a longtime Orange County judge, was held to answer for a murder charge after a preliminary hearing Thursday detailed the shooting of his wife.
Dispatched to a shooting at the Anaheim home of a longtime Orange County judge, police found Jeffrey Ferguson sitting on a planter. 'Just shoot me,' Ferguson told the officer who approached with a less-than-lethal shotgun trained on the judge. Witnesses recounted the scene at Ferguson's home at a preliminary hearing Thursday, where a judge ruled there was probable cause to believe that Ferguson had murdered his wife, Sheryl, after they bickered over money at dinner in August.
According to the detective, earlier that evening Phillip had gone with his father and mother to dinner at El Cholo, where his parents resumed their perennial argument about money. His father had made his hand into the shape of a gun and pointed it at his mother, who walked out of the restaurant, the younger Ferguson told investigators. The three of them then returned home and watched 'Breaking Bad' together in the family room, as they did every night.
