TV Producer Bruce Beresford-Redman Faces Extradition After Voting Wife Off Planet Last Year
MEXICO CITY, Mexico (Bennington Vale Evening Transcript) -- In April 2010, Emmy nominated producer Bruce Beresford-Redman was detained as a suspect in the killing of his wife, Monica. According to officials in Cancun, Monica’s body had been found in a sewer at the Moon Palace resort where the family was vacationing.
Bruce Beresford-Redman has remained in jail since November 2010 awaiting a decision on his case. This week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Jacqueline Chooljian determined that enough circumstantial evidence existed to establish probable cause for Beresford-Redman’s involvement in the murder. The United States must send Beresford-Redman to Mexico within 60 days, but he can appeal the ruling, which would extend the process for an indefinite period of time. However, because of the sadistic and twisted circumstances surrounding the murder, experts say an appeal is unlikely to succeed.
