Events of Red Dead Redemption

Trivia
- It is stated that Spatchcock is homosexual. According to MacKenna, Spatchcock falls in love with the cameraman and runs off with him to Canada.
- After Marston disarms Spatchcock in the duel, he can sometimes pull another handgun out of his holster, which he will then drop on the ground.
- Spatchcock is also a culinary term that means a chicken or game bird split down the back and grilled (usually immediately after being killed).
- The duel Marston has with him is special in that it zooms in much closer than all other duels. This probably to make it easier for the player to aim for his arm and keep him alive.
