:16:00
Didn't seem to have any worries.
He wasn't waiting on anybody.
:16:03
He just wanted to enjoy his drink
and the company around.
:16:13
I guess it was maybe 11:30 or 11:45.
:16:15
That's when RusseII Henderson
and Aaron McKinney came in.
:16:19
They come in, approach the bar,
they sit here and order a pitcher...
:16:22
...and as you know, they pay for the thing
entireIy in dimes and quarters...
:16:26
...which, Iet me teII you,
is something you just don't forget.
:16:29
You don't forget something Iike that.
$5.50 in dimes and quarters?
:16:32
It's a freaking nightmare
for a bartender.
:16:35
Money meant nothing to Matthew
because he grew up with a lot of it.
:16:39
He'd have handed over his waIIet
in a second...
:16:41
...because money meant nothing to him.
:16:43
I mean, his shoes might have
meant something, but....
:16:46
They can say it was robbery
aII they want to, but I don't buy it.
:16:50
Not even for an iota of a second.
:16:52
look, when they came in,
Henderson and McKinney...
:16:55
...to me, they didn't seem
to be intoxicated at aII.
:16:58
They came in,
they order a pitcher of beer...
:17:01
...they take it back there into the pooI area,
and they just kept to themseIves.
:17:06
It was going on for haIf an hour...
:17:08
...and then I noticed RusseII and Aaron
had been taIking with Matthew Shepard.
:17:13
Some people are saying
he made a pass at them.
:17:16
HeII, you don't pick up reguIar peopIe.
:17:20
Aaron and I have been together
for two years.
:17:24
Aaron said that a guy waIked up to him
and said he was gay...
:17:28
...and wanted to get with him and Russ.
:17:30
Aaron's reaIIy bad about that.
:17:32
He doesn't Iike to be around gay peopIe
at aII, and neither does Russ.
:17:36
They just don't Iike them at aII.
:17:39
So he got aggravated with it
and said he was straight...
:17:42
...and he didn't wanna have anything
to do with it, and he waIked off.
:17:46
He said that's when him and Russ
went into the bathroom...
:17:49
...and decided to pretend that they were
gay and get him in the truck and rob him.
:17:54
They wanted to teach him a Iesson
not to come on to straight peopIe.
:17:59
I'm not excusing their actions,
but it seems to be partiaIIy his fauIt...
