Cancun, Mexico -- Lawyers for a U.S. reality television producer facing trial for allegedly murdering his wife at a Mexican resort said Thursday they hope to persuade a judge to drop the charges and free their client.
Jaime Cancino Leon, an attorney for former "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman, said he had found inconsistencies in the prosecution case, but did not elaborate.
Beresford-Redman appeared for a preliminary hearing, where a judge read the homicide charge filed against him. He did not immediately enter a plea.
The producer spoke briefly and complained he didn't have a consular representative when investigators questioned him after the April 2010 murder in the Caribbean coast resort of Cancun.
Behind bars in an office room, Beresford-Redman said he was accused of a crime he did not commit. He said he lost his wife, Monica, who he loved very much, and lost the custody of his children and his freedom.

Cancun, Mexico (AP) — A reality televison producer arrived in Mexico escorted by nearly a dozen agents on Thursday after being extradited from the United States so he can face trial in his wife's killing.
Former "Survivor" producer Bruce Beresford-Redman landed at Cancun's airport and was whisked away in an SUV accompanied by three police vehicles. The noncommercial jet touched down on a separate runway where reporters didn't have access.
Minutes after landing, agents drove the producer to the state prosecutors' office, which is charging him in the death of his wife whose body was found in a sewer cistern at a swank Cancun resort following an April 2010 family vacation.
Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres, attorney general for the state of Quintana Roo, said the suspect will be taken to a jail in the Caribbean resort. The producer could see a judge anytime within the next three days.
Reporters couldn't approach Bruce Beresford-Redman.
