-------- Day at ballgame clears murder suspect ----------

LOS ANGELES - A Los Angeles man with a good-as-gold TV
alibi has been awarded $320,000 in a wrong-man murder
charge. Juan Catalan, 28, who spent five months in jail
in the 2003 slaying of a 16-year-old Sun Valley girl,
sued the L.A. City Council for police misconduct after
his attorney produced irrefutable evidence he couldn't
have done it. Catalan had insisted he was innocent and
that he was at a L.A. Dodgers game with his 6-year-old
daughter at the time. Unable to find any trace of him
in the game tape, attorney Todd Melnik learned the HBO
comedy "Curb Your Enthusiasm" had been shooting at the
ball park that day. There, among the discarded, unused
tape was Castalan eating a hot dog in the background.
Catalan was not a fan of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" before
his time in jail, attorney Gary Casselman said. "He is
now."
