Defense says independent probe weakens Busfield child-sex abuse case
TL;DR
Busfield's lawyers say an independent investigation undermines the state's charges of criminal sexual contact of a minor and child abuse, citing alleged fraud by the accusers' parents, his polygraph result, and a Warner Bros. inquiry that found no basis for the claims; he remains jailed without bond ahead of a detention hearing tied to alleged on-set incidents on The Cleaning Lady in Albuquerque.
