Actress Overcome with Emotion During Major Court Decision
The judge stated that supervised release was appropriate under the circumstances. Prosecutors argued against release, citing concerns about alleged past conduct and questioning whether Busfield would fully comply with court orders. They also referenced a prior claim made by an actress during a separate production and noted delays in Busfield turning himself in after a warrant was issued. Despite these concerns, the judge ruled in favor of supervised release.
Court documents show Busfield recently underwent a psychological evaluation that classified him as low risk. The court also received letters of support from family and colleagues, including Gilbert, who described her husband as compassionate and dependable. Busfield has denied all allegations and says he plans to contest the charges as the legal process continues.
