Reality TV producer Bruce Beresford-redman has been denied bail by a Los Angeles judge as he continues to fight extradition to Mexico to face charges relating to the death of his wife.
The Survivor boss has been in custody in Los Angeles since 16 November, when U.S. authorities actioned a formal request from Mexican prosecutors to send him back to stand trial for aggravated homicide. The body of his partner Monica was found in a sewer near their holiday hotel in April.
Beresford-Redman, who fled Mexico to head home to L.A. shortly after the tragedy, appeared in court on Monday, when his attorney Richard Hirsch argued his client should be freed because authorities failed to file the proper documentation to secure the warrant for his arrest.
Hirsch also claimed the producer was not a flight risk because he had no criminal background and had two children to care for.
But U.S. District Court Judge Susan Segal rejected the motion, stating, "I do not believe he can be awarded with bail for the allegations which he has been alleged... Mr. Redman presents a risk of flight."...

As we reported back in March, a group of Minneapolis zombies sued after having been arrested during a peaceful protest in 2006. Though they had never been charged with a crime, they were detained for two days, and police claimed that their sound equipment was thought to be "weapons of mass destruction." The Zombies' (actually a group of seven people protesting mindless consumerism) original lawsuit was dismissed, but their request to appeal was granted in February.
On Friday, August 20th, the Minneapolis City Council agreed to settle out of court by paying $165,000 to the zombies. If the case had gone to trial, the group could have stood to receive $350,000 plus legal fees.
Apparently, Minneapolis City Attorney Susan Segal feels that juries would be sympathetic to the walking dead (or might use gavels to defeat them...). She did not apologize for the actions of the Minneapolis police who arrested the group of zombies at the 2006 Aquatennial,...
