Every death penalty case should be given the most extreme scrutiny. And every death penalty conviction should be followed by an execution within 30 days.

Off the topic, was there an actor from the series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” who was in his early 90’s when he had passed?

A further followup from local ABC News gives more facts to this case and what appears to be compensation for the failure of the prosecutor to refute an alibi.

It appears that the initial search was warranted as Mr.Catalan was the brother of a co-defendant in a gang murder case and he was considered a good suspect for the murder of a 16yo girl who testified in that case. The weakness was that he had ticket stubs for attending the baseball game with his daughter and had offered to take a lie-detector test. Obviously, anyone who goes to a baseball game knows that there is very little chance of 'proving' attendance beyond having the ticket stubs - the Godfather Movies alone show how plausible deniability works here.

I’m wondering if the filming evidence would still be admissible in court because of today’s digital technology?

“The prosecutor assigned to the case had never lost. She liked to pick off people with the death penalty.”

Does this prosecutor have a name? Just curious.
