 Bruce Beresford-Redman was convicted and then sentenced to 12 years in prison by Judge Víctor Manuel Echeverria Tun, Quintana Roo state prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said. Beresford-Redman, a former producer on Survivor and the co-creator of the reality show Pimp My Ride, had been charged with the aggravated murder of Burgos during a family vacation to the Moon Palace Resort and Spa hotel during the spring of 2010. Beresford-Redman returned to the U.S. after his wife's death, but was extradited to Mexico in February 2012, where a judge ordered him to remain in custody until his trial. The family of Burgos issued a statement through their lawyer, Alison Triessl, late Thursday.
– Five years after Monica Burgos was found murdered in Mexico, her husband has been found guilty of the crime. Prosecutors maintained former Survivor producer Bruce Beresford-Redman killed his wife on April 5, 2010, in a room at Cancun's Moon Palace resort, then dumped her body in a cistern, and a judge yesterday sentenced Beresford-Redman to 12 years in prison. He'll be credited for four years already served, TMZ reports. A lawyer for Beresford-Redman, who must also pay a $2,791 fine, says he'll appeal the decision as it is based on circumstantial evidence, CBS News reports. A state prosecutor, who had asked for a 50-year sentence, says he may appeal the decision in an attempt to secure a lengthier prison term, the AP reports. Beresford-Redman and his lawyers maintain he is innocent and that the prosecution had no forensic evidence that pointed to him as the killer; the Hollywood Reporter notes that witnesses "backed out" or gave testimony that supported his story (read more on the doubts that clouded the trial). "Over an exhausting three-and-a-half-year period, this trial has done nothing but prove Bruce's innocence beyond any doubt," said his parents. "We are appalled and disgusted with this gross miscarriage of justice." Beresford-Redman's mom, who has custody of the couple's two children, says she has "told them that it's a farce." A lawyer for Burgos' family says, per the AP, "Not a day goes by that they don't miss her terribly and nothing will bring her back, but they can finally say that she has received the justice she deserved."
