Re: Matthew Shepard
Saw the special as well a similar pre-story on MSNBC and Fox from what I saw it seemed pretty credible and 20/20 is very confident in their information.
It wouldn't really surpise me if the gay bashing conclusion was jumped to. Hate Crime legislation was a hot topic at the time as well as a few other gay bashing incidents had occured recently.
This is exactly why I am against Hate Crime legislation. Punish the crime not the idea or motivation.
