We conclude our Mayhem Series of True Crime documentaries with a recap of the 2017 documentary LONG SHOT by Jacob LaMendola (streaming on Netflix).

It’s the story of Juan Catalan who was accused of the execution style murder of 16 year old Martha Puebla in Los Angeles. Catalan was up for the death penalty but his dedicated lawyer hunted for his only alibi that would exonerate him - video footage from a Dodgers game.

Our guest is Andrew Dalton who has been a reporter for 16 years at the Associated Press. He has written about murder, wildfires, murder, politics, busted water mains, murder, celebrity deaths, and the occasional murder. He currently covers the intersection of entertainment and courts from the Los Angeles bureau of the ancient and venerable news outlet. An ethnic Mormon, he was raised in Utah and New Mexico, went to college in Santa Cruz and now lives with his wife and three kids in South Pasadena just a few miles from Dodger Stadium, where he regularly attends games, but only for the alibi.
