'Survivor' Producer Bruce Beresford-Redman Pleads With Judge To Revoke Extradition To Mexico On Wife Murder Charges

Sitting in a jail cell in Cancun, Mexico, former Survivor and MTV producer Bruce Beresford-Redman awaits extradition for the alleged 2010 murder of his wife, Monica, but Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively obtained new court filings in which the Pimp My Ride co-creator hopes to reverse the extradition.
Bruce's legal team believes he is innocent and if the motion is successful, he will be the first American whose extradition was overturned.
"We are seeking to have the United States Magistrate Judge reconsider her prior order because of the inaccuracies presented by the Mexican government to secure Beresford-Redman’s extradition. In short, the Mexican government misled a United States federal judge," lawyer Anthony Sgro said in a statement.
"This is unacceptable and it undermines the credibility of extradition as a whole. The misrepresentations were so shameless and their result of condemning an innocent man to a never-ending trial means that justice demands the magistrate give Beresford-Redman his day in a U.S. Court."
The 26-page filing alleges that "the Mexican government presented corrupted evidence to the court" and as such, the extradition should not proceed.
Viloria points to the eight claims below:
· The Mexican government claimed to possess forensic evidence that would prove Beresford-Redman’s guilt: conveniently all this alleged evidence was lost/destroyed while in Mexican custody. The Mexican government claimed to have witnesses who heard a fight and screams from the hotel room: but again when asked to produce those witnesses the Mexican government could not.· The Mexican government claimed to have blood evidence from the crime scene: however there was no blood ever found of Beresford-Redman or his wife. The Mexican government claimed to have a hotel staff
