New Details Emerge in Shepard Case

This is from an article based on interviews 20/20 did with McKinney and Henderson in 2004. Really shocking. Definitely read the comments too. Some people back up what is expressed (that the crime had everything to do with drugs and little to do with Matt being gay, but that the defense decided to make that 'gay panic' their motive because they thought it would absolve them...)

New Details Emerge in Matthew Shepard Murder

Other comments totally decry the report, saying it's completely false and shoddy journalism. I think this is the kind of thing we could maybe include outside the theater? If we're going with the "outside forces coming into Laramie" idea.

Also this is a song about Matt with some video/audio of Laramie. It's not that great, but at 4:37, they shown something I haven't heard before.

Oh, Doc

This is the first thing that came up in a google search for "Doc O'Connor." And here is a wonderful little excerpt:

"O'Connor says he never heard McKinney express any anti-gay attitudes. In his interview with Vargas, O'Connor reveals his belief that McKinney is bisexual. "I know of an instance where he had a three-way, two guys and one gal," he said. "Because he did it with me."

O'Connor added, "I know he's bisexual. There ain't no doubt in my mind. He is bisexual." '

Gotta love Doc.

(Another article from Newsweek right after the murder. Doc says almost the exact same thing he says in the moment we read today...)
