The highly publicized murder trial of a California judge accused of killing his wife has ended in a mistrial, as jurors in Orange County were unable to reach a unanimous decision after multiple days of deliberation. The judge, who admitted to shooting his wife, remained free on bail as the prosecution vowed to continue pursuing the case despite the deadlock in jury discussions. This situation raises questions about the legal proceedings surrounding domestic violence and the complexities involved when a member of the judiciary is charged with such a grave offense.
