[edit] Possible miscommunication due to language barrier contributing to the killing
I learned of this case from one of my psychology textbooks. It said that the victim, upon hearing "FREEZE!" thought the person meant cold (it was a cold October night) so he walked inside to get out of the cold, and got shot dead. I'll try to look for it once I dig out my old Psyc textbook. If it is the same case then I will add that bit of information to the article.--205.250.222.77 23:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- I might have heard that. I think this episode may have partly inspired the Homicide episode "Colors"[1], but I'm not sure that's important.--T. Anthony 07:00, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I am the self-proclaimed "guardian" of this article - for the moment at least. I'm working on it right now - creating the foundation for a nice, tight and easy to read article and updating my sources as I'm making progress. I have a tendency to repeat-edit en masse, so please bear with me and refrain from hasty edits just now :) If you can help me by accessing the original court documents in LexisNexis, please let me know - otherwise I think internet articles and the Yoshi foundation homepage cover everything. Cheers! aeris 10:54, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
I found an interesting site by a person who claims to have read the LexisNexis records and gives a different version of the story (though a slightly biased one). You might be able to request the original LexisNexis information from him

One thing that is missing from this article is the time that the boys arrived.
Are you still monitoring this page? I wrote about this topic for my thesis and reviewed all the court transcripts and conducted interview with the Haymakers, the Hattoris, Hattori's classmates, the D.A. Doug Moreau, L. Unglesby representing the Defense, the mayor of Baton Rouge, police officers, a juror and townspeople. I was very fortunate to have the assistance of an attorney in Baton Rouge in accessing all these people. It was a very moving case. I would have to look through old notes for the exact time; however, I know the boys arrived after 8pm and well before 9pm. Additionally, the house numbers were transposed, they were on their way to a Halloween party down the street. I'll add the time when I get ahole of my theisis. Katrina Kernodle-Walsh
I am a gun owner and an opponent of gun control, but I think the shooter in this case should have been locked up for felony manslaughter. The answer isn't gun control, it's a sane legal system.75.75.110.235 07:28, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm confused.. he purposefully used a gun to kill an innocent boy, but he wasn't given a life sentence (or executed)? Why not? I thought murder was punished by life imprisonment or execution.
When a kid walks up and rings your doorbell and you kill him that IS murder, right? I mean surely he didn't ACCIDENTLY point the gun at the kid and pull the trigger? If he did that by accident then I could see him getting off with felony manslaughter, but there's just no way that could have been an accident.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.53.37.218 (talk) 06:29, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
