Wasn't that Louisiana? Baton Rouge, to be specific. In 1992 Yashihiro
Hattori, a 16 year old Japanese high school exchange student was shot
dead by the home owner Rodney Peairs whose door bell he rang in error,
believing he was at the house where there was a party he had been
invited to.
"In Baton Rouge, Rodney Peairs, the homeowner who gunned down Yoshi
Hattori, was indicted by a grand jury. He was charged with
manslaughter and put on trial in May. The jury, apprently convinced
that Peairs was well within his rights to blow away an inquiring
teenager, deliberated for just over three hours before acquitting
him."
Right. That's the case.
