Prosecutors urge TV producer's extradition
Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to ignore efforts by a reality television producer charged in his wife's death in Mexico to present evidence and testimony from his daughter to fight extradition.
A prosecution brief filed Thursday calls Bruce Beresford-Redman's efforts to call his daughter as a witness during an upcoming extradition hearing an effort to distract the court from overwhelming evidence that he killed his wife.
Lawyers for the ex-"Survivor" producer have introduced statements from the couple's 6-year-old daughter into their opposition paperwork, and said at a press conference they hope to call her as a witness.
The U.S. government's brief states that Beresford-Redman is not allowed to call witnesses during the proceeding, and that much of the evidence he seeks to enter is inadmissible.
