- Share via
The last of four defendants arrested in the beating death of gay college student Matthew Shepard has pleaded guilty in Laramie, Wyo., to a reduced charge for helping dispose of the bloody clothes of one of the killers. Kristen Price is the former girlfriend of Aaron McKinney, who was sentenced to two consecutive life prison sentences last week for the 1998 murder. McKinney’s accomplice, Russell Henderson, is also serving two life terms. Price originally was accused of accessory after-the-fact to first-degree murder, but the charge was reduced to interfering with a police officer, a misdemeanor.
