On the evening of October 6, 1998, two men robbed and tortured 21 year old Matthew Shepard, outside of Laramie, Wyoming. Shepard, who was gay, was left severely injured and bloodied on a barbed wire fence in freezing temperatures. It wasn't until the next morning when Shepard was found by a cyclist. Matthew was clinging to life when he was transferred to a hospital in Fort Collins, Colorado. He died six days later from his injuries. The suspects, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, were originally charged with robbery and attempted murder. The charge was upgraded to first degree murder following Shepard's death. the reasoning for Matthew's murder are debated. The prosecution believed that McKinney and Henderson were motivated by drugs and greed. The Defense argued that Shepard made sexual advances towards McKinney which enraged him.
