This is a great story. My roommates and I have been watching Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on HBO, which is very funny. Anywho, it turns out that while HBO was shooting a scene at Dodger stadium, they got some crowd shots of a Mr. Juan Catalan. Mr. Catalan was later charged with a murder -- which took place the same night as the Dodgers game. The police, claiming they had a witness to the murder, did not believe Mr. Catalan went to the game, despite his ticket stubs. After being jailed for 6 months while awaiting trial, his lawyer was able to review HBO's footage for the show, and Mr. Catalan was present in one of the scenes, so he has since been cleared of the charges. More info in this article. This story will be on Fark in 5... 4... 3...

Too bad this is sooooooo yesterday's news. HA! I have bested Capt. Internet (appropriate theme music)! One vote for biggest nerd for me.
Damn! I guess I'm going to have to refrain from posting stories that are related to sports in any way.
I'm slipping... I'll make it up to everybody by directing you to a flash version of Photo Hunt.
