McConaughey listed the victims’ names and provided personal details about many of the murdered fourth-graders. In one harrowing moment, he asked his wife, Camila, to hold up the green Converse sneakers that belonged to 10-year-old Maite Yuleana Rodriguez, who McConaughey said had wanted to be a marine biologist. Those shoes, he continued, were the only way of identifying Maite after she was shot by the AR15-wielding gunman. McConaughey then slammed the podium.
