That refutes Fugee, but still leaves me wondering why you claimed to have seen the show two weeks ago.
And what a reliable story it was. Based on the preliminary press report:
The murderer, who first averred that he killed Matt Sheppard specifically because he was gay (because he thought that might lead to a reduced manslaughter charge) now says that gayness had nothing to do with it (because he is trying to get his sentence reduced by saying that this was not a hate crime). His girlfriend who supported the first story now supports the second.
When you said it was a "meth deal gone sour," that seemed to suggest the victim was buying meth. But it was really the killers who were on meth, and who planned to rob Sheppard, and who did rob him. But for some reason, this robbery ended with a particularly brutal murder. Which suggests to me that something other than a robbery was going on.
Personally, I believe the first story, not the second, based on the fact that a simple robbery turned into something so different. And regardless of which story you believe, it doesn't change the fact that people in the great state of Wyoming went to the funeral with signs bearing lovely Christian messages, like "He got what he deserved."
