"Matt Shepard needed killing," Aaron McKinney bluntly told Tectonic company member Greg Pierotti for the epilogue, which includes the first interviews with McKinney and Russell Henderson since 2004.
"As far as Matt is concerned, I don't have any remorse," McKinney said during nine hours of talks with Pierotti. "The night I did it, I did have hatred for homosexuals."
McKinney's initial motive was robbery. But he targeted Shepard, he said, because "he was obviously gay. That played a part. His weakness. His frailty."
McKinney now calls himself "the poster child for hate-crime murders."
Rest of article, mostly about Laramie: Ten Years Later
Also like the quote "Laramie is a community, not a project."
