We have the paid attendance tonight,
27,458.

Right, in the case
of People vs. Juan Ignacio Catalan--

Is that your true name?

Yes, ma'am.

I'm Detective Rodriguez.
My partner, Detective Pinner. Okay?

Hey, what's going on?
That's all I want to know.

We're hoping you're going to talk to us.
Is that what you're willing to do?

You're willing to talk to us
about what's going on?

What's going on?

-State your full name for the record, sir.
-It's Juan Rodriguez.

Juan was in jail,

charged with the May 12th 2003
murder of 16-year-old Martha Puebla.

The young woman had testified
in a separate case

in which Juan's brother
was a co-defendant.

Do you solemnly state that the evidence
that you shall present

shall be the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth,

-so help you God?
-I do.

You guys are gonna take away my life
for this fucking bullshit?

The bullshit is this. You killed somebody.

Wait a minute.
Those are very strong words right there.

I did not kill nobody,
I would never kill nobody,

and I'd never do anything
to hurt anybody.

Convince us otherwise.

Las Vegas.
It's a great place to go and have fun!

We went there to uncover some of
the sneaks, cheaters and sore losers,

and they were all caught on tape.

Detective Pinner,
what time did the 911 call go out

with respect to this murder on May 12th?

22:43, that's 10:43 p.m.

At the time
that the defendant was arrested,

did he have any facial hair?

-Yes.
-And what type of facial hair did he have?

He had a mustache
and he was slightly unshaven,

with a small piece of hair
below his bottom lip.

Male Hispanic, black hair, very short,

5'7" to 5'11", 19 to 25 years old.

Stocky build, medium mustache--

Hair below his lip?
I've never had nothing under my lip.

-What's under there right now?
-I haven't shaved!

Okay, so you didn't shave this day either.

Why wouldn't I shave my mustache then?

I don't know.
'Cause you think you're cool.

Because you think there were no witnesses.
But there were witnesses.

Please,
you guys can't do this to me, dude.

I swear to God, on my two daughters
that I love so much, man,

I did not do this.

People identified you.
The composite is you.

You see, the pictures don't lie.

Well, did you investigate Juan Catalan
in any way, shape, or form

before you had him arrested
on August 12th?

Yes.

What did you do?

-We showed his picture to the witness.
-And?

Verified that he had an apparent motive.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we are pleased to welcome

more than 2,000 City of El Segundo
employees, families and friends

to tonight's game.

We have the paid attendance tonight,
27,458.

Eric Gagné comes in,
and he would go into Mike Kinkade's spot.

That's a strike.

Marcus Giles, with runners
in scoring position, is hitting .355.

Ground ball up the middle!
Cora can't block it!

And the runner's gonna come in.

Furcal scores, Giles scores,
and the game has come apart on Eric Gagné.

First of all, we had
an eyewitness who identified him,

and cooperated with a composite artist
within days of the homicide...

...and came up with a composite

that was strikingly similar
to the defendant in appearance.

She was murdered because she did testify,

and the day that she testified,
which was May 1st of 2003,

Juan Catalan was present in the audience
during his brother's preliminary hearing

when this girl testified.

Do you think that Juan Catalan
has any kind of a legitimate alibi at all?

No.

I'm going to show you three tickets here.

Which of these tickets
was the one that you possessed?

Did I explain to you
that we have to tell the truth in court?

-Do you remember that?
-Yeah.

If I told you that this pen was blue,
would that be the truth or a lie?

A lie.

And if I told you
that this microphone was white,

would that be the truth or a lie?

A lie.

You gonna promise to tell us the truth
from what you remember?

Yeah.

Did you go to a Dodger game
with your daddy?

-Yeah. Yeah.
-This year, last year?

Did your daddy buy you anything
during the game?

-Yeah.
-What did he buy you?

Ice cream.

And candy.

And...

and some Dodgers cards.

Some Dodger cards?

Where did he buy the Dodger cards?
Do you remember?

If Juan had the alibi, the Dodger game,

why didn't he mention it when the police
were interviewing him

the night he was arrested?

You would have to ask him that.

What were you doing
on the night of the 12th?

Well, I'm gonna remember,

and that's hopefully gonna
clear me up, dude.

You should see the traffic.

The only thing moving
is the car pool lane.

I'll never make it. I'm going home.

Hey, Daddy.
You want a date with momma?

Get in the car.

I know the seats
ain't way the fuck up here.

Got a problem with the seats?

You said we had good seats,
club seats and shit.

-Hey, Larry. I see you got a ticket!
-Yeah, the seats really stink, though.

-Can I join you?
-No.

Why not?

-You're not gonna let me sit?
-Not even a minute!

Thanks.

At 10:43 at night,

our defendant, by his own evidence,
his own witnesses,

is on the same street as our victim,
dropping off his cousin, Miguel Catalan,

about 100 to 150 yards
away from the murder scene,

at the time of the murder.

So the HBO tape,
in your opinion, is good only for what?

Nothing.

There's a call at 10:11 in the evening,

for 49 seconds, an inbound call.

-Whose phone number is that?
-My friend.

-And did you call Juan from her phone?
-Yes, I did.

-Do you recognize that number?
-Yeah, that's my number.

But I don't remember
if he called me or I called him.

What's the first number
that you recognize?

Mine.

Which cell tower was used
to receive that call at 10:11 at night?

10:11 at night,
the cell site was NCA 6581...

You guys are making
the biggest mistake in the world.

This night, you made
the biggest mistake of your life.

No. No.

You guys are going to remember this,

'cause you guys are trying to pin
somebody that had nothing to do with this.

This man would be facing
the death penalty

if he hadn't, by the grace of God,

gotten Dodger tickets
from someone the day before

and invited these people,

got caught on video from that HBO show.

You heard the tape of the interview
with Detective Pinner.

It is clearly a one-witness ID case.

However, the one witness in this case
is extremely credible,

has no motive to lie,

and made a composite drawing
with a composite artist

that is strikingly similar
to the defendant's appearance.

I don't have any doubt that eyewitness
attempted to be credible,

but he observed this murder
on a darkened residential street

under obviously the most traumatic
of circumstances.

Go over and give your daddy a hug!

Hi!

Everything's over.

-Thank you, Todd.
-You're welcome, man.

-I owe you, dude.
-It's all right.

You owe him your life!

-I owe you.
-All right.

You know what incriminating evidence is?

-Yes.
-All right.

Were you asking Mr. Catalan questions

to try to obtain
an incriminating response?

Yes.

Did you try to trick Juan Catalan,
after he was arrested,

with a circle around his picture?

Yes, sir.

That was dishonest, right?

We're gonna begin the press conference

with the United States Attorney
Deborah Wong Yang.

The indictment alleges
that several members of the gang

murdered a 16-year-old girl

who had witnessed the gang's wrongdoings
and was cooperating with police.
