ANAHEIM, California - A Southern California judge accused of killing his wife texted his court clerk and bailiff admitting to the killing, prosecutors said Friday as they charged him with murder and weapon possession.
According to California’s constitution, a judge who is charged with a felony is disqualified from acting as a judge. A judge’s conviction of a felony will lead to the judge’s removal from office. Shortly after, Ferguson pulled a pistol from an ankle holster and shot her in the chest at close range. Afterward, according to court documents, Ferguson texted his court clerk and bailiff saying: “I just lost it. I just shot my wife. I won’t be in tomorrow. I will be in custody. I’m so sorry.”
In a statement to The Associated Press, Ferguson’s lawyers, Mr Paul Meyer and Mr John Barnett, said, “This is a tragedy for the entire Ferguson family.”Ferguson had been a member of Orange County’s legal community for years.
