Mike Downey: I think a lot of people have a sense that like, oh, that story was more complicated. He says the best source of information about why Matthew Shepard was murdered is Aaron McKinney's interview with the police on October 9th. "If you had an accurate view of the murder from the get-go, if you didn't and weren't paying much attention, it's like, yeah, we understood this story," he says.
