    WHATS'S UP FOOL? EP 560

    Felipe welcomes back Juan Catalan to What's Up Fool?

    Juan was facing the death penalty for a murder he didn't commit until a "one in a million" miracle outtake from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" proved his alibi. He’s back on the show to update us on his incredible journey. Check out his book "Played: A Murder Case A Hollywood Miracle & Dodgers Baseball" on Amazon or wherever you buy books. Here’s where he’s at now: Juan is now a prominent advocate for the wrongly accused. He works closely with legal teams and speaks at law schools to push for judicial reform and better investigative standards, ensuring what happened to him never happens to anyone else.
