ABC News: New Details Emerge in Matthew Shepard Murder

Above is the full story about Matthew's killing .... there are some interesting details there like one of his killers was bi?

When parole time comes around for Aaron McKinney, I am sure there will be enough opposition to petition against parole. That will never bring him back, but I think both will remain behind bars for the rest of their lives.

I can't say everything about it
In just one single song
I can't put how I feel in a package
And sell it back to everyone

But wait
There's another boy genius who's fucking gone
I hope the food tastes better in heaven
I know there's lots of rad queer boys up there
I hope every time they talk to you
They know they're lucky to be yr friend

Cause look
There's another boy genius who's fucking gone
And I wouldn't be so fucking mad so fucking
Pissed off if it wasn't so fucking wrong
It's all fucking wrong
It's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair

But no one said life was easy
Yeah, but no one said, no one said
Nothing's supposed to happen right?
No, no one told me anything
To prepare me for fucking this

There's another boy genius who's fucking gone
Don't tell me it don't matter
Don't tell me I've had three days to get over it
It won't go away
It just won't go away

Thanks 1BiGG1 for the info. Hopefully we can now find an update on Mullins and Butler and if they are still behind bars. In my own opinion, they should have received the death penalty - actually the same kind of punishment!

They didn't give them the death penalty because 1 it wasn't premeditated, and 2 the killer was bi. You can't try it as a hate crime against gays if the killer was bi. Also, he knew the guy he killed.
A guy that owns a limo service stated he'd transported them both in his limo at the same time to parties. He also stated that the killer was bi because he'd done with his girlfriend and the guy.
Right now, the only bi things he had are bye bye freedom forever, and bye bye tight anus.

Rest in Peace Matthew, I hope life is much easier for his folks after 10 years. This anniversary will probably only remind them of the pain of the past.
