TV Producer's Lawyer: Prosecutors Want Him Arrested for Murder

Finally some good news in the case of Bruce Beresford-Redman, who is a primary suspect person of interest in the April 8th death of his wife, Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman. Since leaving Mexico, the TV producer seemed to think he was home-free......... but fortunately that's not the case, and his own attorney said that authorities are on his trail.


In a report published yesterday, Bruce's Mexican lawyer told TMZ that prosecutors want his client charged with first-degree murder. The attorney, Jaime Cancino Leon, told the source that prosecutors will make their move by the end of Monday. Per TMZ's article, Mexican law requires that the Attorney General submit his recommendation to a judge, who will then review the evidence. If the judge determines that probable cause exists, then Beresford-Redman will be formally charged with the murder of his wife, and an arrest warrant will be issued.

If Beresford-Redman ends up getting convicted, he could face anywhere from 4 to 20 years in prison. Unfortunately there is no death penalty or life sentence in Mexico.
