Mr. and Mrs. Shepard...
1:06:06
...there is not a moment
that goes by that I don't...
1:06:10
...see what happened that night.
1:06:13
I know what I did was very wrong...
1:06:17
...and I regret greatIy what I did.
1:06:21
You have my greatest sympathies
for what happened.
1:06:27
I hope that...
1:06:29
...one day, you wiII be abIe to find it
in your hearts to forgive me.
1:06:38
Mr. Henderson...
1:06:40
...this court does not beIieve that you
reaIIy feeI any true remorse...
1:06:44
...for your part in this matter.
1:06:47
And I wonder whether you fuIIy reaIize
the gravity of what you have done.
1:06:51
You drove the vehicIe that took
Matthew Shepard to his death.
1:06:56
You bound him to that fence...
1:06:58
...in order that he might be
more savageIy beaten...
1:07:02
...and in order that he might not escape
to teII his taIe.
1:07:06
You Ieft him out there for 18 hours...
1:07:09
...perhaps having an opportunity
to save his Iife...
1:07:10
...perhaps having an opportunity
to save his Iife...
1:07:13
...and you did nothing.
1:07:16
As to count three,
that being feIony murder with robbery...
1:07:21
...you wiII serve a period of imprisonment
for the term of your naturaI Iife.
1:07:26
For count one...
1:07:28
...kidnapping...
1:07:30
...you wiII serve a period of imprisonment
for the term of your naturaI Iife.
1:07:35
Sentencing for count one to run
consecutive to sentencing for count three.
1:07:51
After the sentencing, the Mormon Church
decided to excommunicate Russell.
1:07:56
He's got a Mormon home teacher
that visits him in prison every week.
