Jury members in the Allen Andrade murder trial walked out of a packed courtroom Wednesday as one lone person in the gallery gave them a rousing thumbs up.

"Thank you," Susan Matthews of Denver mouthed as they walked out, her thumb high in the air.

Allen Andrade was going away for the rest of his life, and several members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community were taking a new message home.

making murder cases federal trials is not going to help anyone.
