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. Advertisement 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."
