160 - The Matthew Shepard Story
The story of the sadistic torture and murder of Matthew Shepard, a homosexual college student, in Wyoming in October 1998. Two small-time criminals kidnapped Shepard, beat him ferociously, lashed him to a fence in frigid temperatures, and left him there for 18 hours before he was discovered. The case sparked a national debate about the need for hate-crime legislation.
