California Judge’s Son Retracts Critical Testimony in Ongoing Murder Trial

The son of a California judge, who is on trial for allegedly murdering his wife with a handgun, has conceded during cross-examination that he did not witness his father draw and aim the weapon at the victim before the gun was discharged. This admission contradicts his earlier statement to law enforcement, where he indicated that he had seen his father take those actions. This development emerged in court testimony on Thursday, casting doubt on the initial account provided to police. More details of the ongoing trial are available through Law360.
