Courtroom Television Network in August will air a one-hour documentary on Max
Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was captured Wednesday in Mexico.

Luster had fled the country this past January during his trial in California
for rape, poisoning and drug possession.

The documentary will air as part of Court TV's ongoing
investigative series, Dominick Dunne's Power, Privilege and Justice, and
will include an interview with the bounty hunter, Duane "Dog" Chapman, now
credited with capturing Luster in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico, network
executives said.
