The Wrong Door Slaying of Yoshi Hattori

About this episode

In October 1992, Yoshihiro Hattori made an innocent mistake and knocked on the wrong door. The two boys were decked out in their Halloween costumes and thought they’d found the right house. Unfortunately, they had made an innocent mistake that cost Yoshi his life. A media frenzy followed, and later a massive campaign to change America's gun laws.
