This is a picture of Matthew Shepard's murderers, Aaron McKinney and Russel Henderson, awaiting testimony in court in 1998. I chose this picture because McKinney's glare strikes me so much. I find it terrifying, and almost hard to look at. While Henderson seems to be bowing his head in shame and regret, I feel that McKinney has this intense look of hate, with no sorrow for the horrbile crime he committed. His slouched posture in the picture also gives a feeling of disrespect to the situation, adding to the message of hatred conveyed by McKinney's look. It's such a powerful picture with such a strong message, which is why I chose this picture - the look sticks with you for a while after.
