After the case of an Orange County judge charged with murder for fatally shooting his wife ended in a mistrial Monday, Jeffrey Ferguson, the man in the center of the legal battle spoke exclusively with NBC Los Angeles on Thursday.
NBCLA’s Hetty Chang was the only reporter to sit down with Ferguson at his Anaheim Hills home where he shot and killed his wife.
The first thing Ferguson did was to show the NBCLA crew the family room where he and his wife, Sheryl, were sitting when he said he accidentally discharged his gun and killed her.
Ferguson said he was relieved and disappointed at the same time when the jury was unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
“In the count — the 11 to one. That was sort of a blow to my emotions, but I don’t have any other choice but to keep going forward,” Ferguson said.
