The judge ruled he’s too high a flight and witness risk, even with strict conditions. Prosecutors allege Ferguson’s network used Bahamian airports and involved corrupt police and defense officials. While his defense pushed a new alibi, the prosecution’s case — bolstered by eyewitnesses, motive, and a victim’s dying declaration naming him “DJ” — remains strong. Key evidence like the murder weapon and car are missing, and no video exists of the airport shooting. Ferguson’s estranged wife also claims he stalked her, and he admitted knowing a secret airport entrance. With a history of drug convictions and limited local ties, the judge deemed him a dangerous flight risk — keeping him locked up as he awaits trial.
