Busfield Defense Argues Studio Probe Undermines NM Child-Abuse Case, Seeks Release
TL;DR
Lawyers for Timothy Busfield asked a New Mexico court to release him from jail, contending Warner Bros.’ independent investigation into allegations by twin child actors undermines the state’s child-sex-abuse case. They cite a passed polygraph, a favorable ABEL assessment, and supportive letters from his wife and colleagues, while prosecutors keep him detained until the next hearing on Jan. 20.
