The prosecution alleges that Judge Ferguson purposely fired the gunshot that killed his wife during a heated argument in front of their adult son at their home. But Ferguson testified that he accidentally fired the gunshot after his bad shoulder gave out while he was placing the firearm on a coffee table and his finger slipped onto the trigger.

Jurors tasked with deciding if Jeffrey Ferguson is guilty of murder will likely hear additional arguments by attorneys.

Jurors in the trial of an Orange County Superior Court judge accused of fatally shooting his wife in their Anaheim Hills home re-heard testimony Tuesday from the defendant as they continued working to reach verdicts.
