Former UVA Lacrosse Player Found Guilty of Murder

Former UVA men’s lacrosse player George Huguely has been convicted of second degree murder in relation to the death of UVA women’s lacrosse player, Yeardley Love:

Huguely is believed to have killed Ms Love in a  jealous rage fuelled by her relationship with a North Carolina lacrosse player.
The verdict came after nine hours of deliberation, and while it fell short of the most serious charge it was nonetheless more serious than the manslaughter charge which some analysts predicted would be the eventual verdict…

The jury of seven men and five women had to decide whether Huguely battered Ms Love to death in a jealous outburst or if his intent to talk with her spiraled out of control, leaving her bleeding and dying in her bedroom.

The jury heard from nearly 60 witnesses over nine days to determine what happened to Ms Love on the night of May 2, 2010.

That night, the women’s lacrosse player was found face down on her pillow. Her right eye was swollen and bruised, she had marks on her chest that suggested she was grabbed and had injuries around her jaw and inside her mouth and neck.
