Original Note:
The notion that Matthew Wayne Shepard knew his killer and that the murder was a lover's quarrel is a complete falsehood. McKinney and Henderson met Shepard the night of the murder and intended to rob him - their lawyers unsuccessfully claimed a gay panic defense. https://archive.ph/20140413020816/http://www.salon.com/1999/11/01/gay_panic/singleton
