An Orange County Superior Court judge accused of killing his wife in their Anaheim Hills house found himself on the other side of the bench on Tuesday, Aug. 15 standing before a Los Angeles County judge, pleading not guilty to a murder charge for a slaying his attorneys say was an accident.
Judge Jeffrey Ferguson made his plea through his attorneys to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ricardo Ocampo, who granted Orange County prosecutors requests that Ferguson wear a GPS monitoring device, stay away from alcohol and submit to searches as conditions of his $1 million bail.
Ocampo rejected a request by prosecutors for Ferguson to not have any contact with his 22-year-old son, who authorities say witnessed the killing. Ocampo said such contact was up to the son.
Wearing a gray suit, white shirt and a blue tie, Ferguson sat quietly at the back of the courtroom until his case was called. He said little until asked by Ocampo if he understood the new conditions of his bail.
Yes, I do, your honor, Ferguson said.

Whats up with that?
Still, innocent until proven guilty.
Conduct very unbecoming to a judge, though. You have to wonder how he would judge a case like his.
