Judge after shooting wife dead: Not guilty

LOS ANGELES, California: A judge in Southern California, who is charged with killing his wife during an argument while he was drunk, pleaded not guilty to murder on Tuesday, while his lawyer says the death was an 'accidental shooting.'

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Ricardo Ocampo ordered Orange County Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Ferguson to surrender his passport, submit to searches and wear monitoring devices for blood alcohol content and global positioning system as part of new bail conditions sought by prosecutors.
