A senior judge who allegedly shot dead his wife while in a drunken state in California, United States, has pleaded not guilty, The Associated Press reported. The incident took place during a heated argument between California Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson (72) and his wife, Sheryl Ferguson (65), on August 3. However, the defense argued that the shooting was "unintentional and accidental," rather than a criminal act.
