LOS ANGELES — There is sufficient evidence for a Southern California judge to stand trial on a murder charge in the shooting death of his wife, a judge ruled Thursday.

Until the shooting, Ferguson was presiding over criminal cases in a courtroom about 25 miles away in the Orange County city of Fullerton.

He remains free on $1 million bail and is required to use monitoring devices for GPS and blood alcohol content.
