Synopsis
In August 2003, Juan Catalan was arrested for the murder of Martha Puebla in Los Angeles County, California.[4] Puebla had been a witness at the hearing of gangster Mario Catalan (Juan's brother) a few days prior which he had attended. Police officers arrested him, as he fit the facial composite a witness described. He was cleared after footage from Curb Your Enthusiasm revealed that he was at a Dodgers game, and a phone call traced him to Dodger Stadium before the murder.
