Both the LA Detectives and the District Attorney should be in Jail.
Those three "curbed my enthusiasm" for LA's judicial system.
On the other hand, Juan's attorney, Todd Melnik, is a saint.
Ok, time to revisit CYE S4, E6.

All ya'll haters out there.. this is a good movie.
My 8 year old dog died today.. heart disease... a horrible 5 days leading up to a disastrous day of vet ER and ultimately death of my beloved friend Milla. She was the most amazing dog ever... regardless.. this movie has been able to tickle a smile and laugh out of me today.
So.. yeah.. watch it.
Cheers
The system is so corrupt and filled with holes. And I really sat here praying and wishing so hard that that prosecutor Silverman one day will get hers, that she herself or one of her children will have to go through something like this. Just for her to know..to feel what it's like. She made me nauseous the way she looked the way she acted. A criminal ironically locking up innocent people. And there are probably millions of other people in the word like her. The system is flawed..in many, many ways. It made me so mad and most of all sad.
Possibly the best short film I have seen in years. Exciting, suspenseful, quick paced, full of stars, villains, energy. Everything you would want from a thriller. I think everyone who has any interest in justice, criminal or otherwise would be satisfied by this 40 minute thrill ride.
See, this is how true crime documentaries are made, Netflix. I knew you had it in you to get one right eventually. Just the right length, the story told via original footage, using text exposition where necessary to move the story along, interviews to the point, and none of the rambling on or long drawn out pauses for dramatic effect. 8/10
Did you know
- TriviaThe title of this documentary, "Long Shot," has a double meaning. Crowd footage at a baseball game is likely to be filmed from a distance - the definition of a "long shot" in camerawork parlance. And there was only a very small chance that Catalan's lawyers would be able to find any footage exonerating him - so their defense strategy was figuratively a "long shot."
- Quotes
Larry David: Maybe, I don't know, every few years, somebody will bring it up or something and I'll tell the story. Maybe I'll tell it at a party, how I got a guy off of a murder. You know. Um. Impress a date with it, I don't know.
