Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- A federal judge ruled Tuesday that there is enough evidence that former reality TV producer Bruce Beresford-Redman murdered his wife at a Cancun resort to justify his return to Mexico to face trial . Beresford-Redman , once a producer on TV 's `` Survivor , '' will appeal the extradition order to a higher court , which could keep him in the United States for another year , his defense lawyers said . Mexican prosecutors charged Beresford-Redman last year with the aggravated murder of Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman while the couple and their two young children vacationed at a resort . The defense withdrew its request to have the 6-year-old daughter take the stand at Tuesday 's extradition hearing because of `` some concerns about her ability to testify today , '' lawyer Vicki Podberesky said . The situation was `` very upsetting '' to the child , she said . Instead , the judge allowed the defense to use a sworn statement from the child 's counselor that quoted her saying she never saw her parents argue of fight during the vacation . The child 's statements to her therapist were also used to explain how her father got some cuts and scrapes on his body that investigators said indicated he was in a struggle with his wife . Beresford-Redman , who has been in jail in Los Angeles since November , has been allowed to visit with his children each week , his lawyer said . He will apparently attend a probate court hearing this week in a Los Angeles County courthouse across the street from federal court . The federal judge approved the request that he testify before the judge considering the permanent custody of his children and the control of his estate.. Mexican prosecutors contend that Beresford-Redman killed his wife by asphyxiating her in their room at the Moon Palace Resort on April 5 , 2010 . Beresford-Redman 's lawyers accuse Mexican investigators of rushing to judgment in charging the husband because they wanted to protect Cancun 's valuable tourist industry . The case is `` replete with inconsistencies and unsupported innuendos , '' attorney Richard Hirsch said . The Cancun trip was intended to help the couple work out their marital problems caused by the producer 's affair with another woman , his lawyers said . But prosecutors contend it was murder , not reconciliation , on Beresford-Redman 's mind . `` The fugitive 's continued infidelity provides a strong motive for him to have committed the crime , '' U.S. prosecutors wrote in an extradition filing . `` The fugitive 's affair was still an issue with the couple during their trip . '' The fact that he brought their young son and daughter along supports his innocence , Hirsch said . `` How absurd it is to think that our client , or anyone , would book a trip to Mexico with his two minor children , have a room in which all of them , the whole family , is staying together , and have this with some motive to commit a homicide , '' Hirsch said . `` It makes no sense in logic , whatsoever . '' Prosecution documents describe a loud argument ending with a violent death in the same one-room hotel suite where the children were staying . While investigators have not talked to the children , a therapist who has helped them deal with the loss of their mother did question the daughter about her memories of the Mexico trip , Hirsch said . An affidavit signed by the therapist said the girl told her she never heard her parents argue in Mexico and that she was never left alone at the resort . `` Mommy and Daddy did not yell at each other and never hit each other , '' the statement quotes the daughter saying . `` Mommy and Daddy never hit each other anywhere , anytime .
