An L.A. Superior Court judge granted O.C. prosecutors’ requests that Ferguson wear a GPS monitoring device, stay away from alcohol and submit to searches.
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.At one point, Ferguson glanced back toward the first row of the courtroom gallery, making eye contact with one of his wife’s brothers, Larry Rosen, who later described that moment as “hell.
“We are confident that when a jury from Orange County hears these facts they will agree with us, this was an unintentional discharge of a firearm,” said Barnett, standing before a bank of cameras outside the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center. “There was no intent to kill, no malice and they will find him not guilty.”
Moments before the shooting, according to documents filed by prosecutors, Sheryl Ferguson told the judge, “Why don’t you point a real gun at me?” Around seven hours after the shooting, a blood sample taken from Ferguson showed the judge had a blood-alcohol level of 0.06 percent, according to prosecutors. The limit by which an individual is considered too intoxicated to drive is 0.08 percent.
Ferguson was a longtime prosecutor with the Orange County District Attorney’s Office before he became an elected judge in 2015. “My sister was a wonderful person, very caring, very selfless,” Larry Rosen said. “The family is absolutely in shock. She is going to be missed dearly. I would describe what is happening as a tragedy.”
