Getty Images A New Mexico judge on Friday threw out an indictment against actor Timothy Busfield, finding that prosecutors failed to act in an impartial manner during the grand jury proceedings.
Busfield was indicted in February on charges of groping a 7-year-old boy on the set of “The Cleaning Lady,” a Fox show on which he worked as a director. He maintains his innocence.
In his ruling, Judge Joseph Montano found that prosecutors had impeded grand jurors who wanted to hear from defense witnesses. Some eight potential witnesses were sitting in the hallway outside, but were not called to appear.
