The murder of Yeardley Love took place on May 3, 2010, in Charlottesville, Virginia, United States.

Huguely was tried and found guilty of Love's murder, receiving a 23-year prison sentence. Background Yeardley Love Yeardley Reynolds Love was born on July 17, 1987, in Baltimore, Maryland, to John and Sharon Love. She resided in Cockeysville, Maryland. At Notre Dame Preparatory School, Love was a member of the varsity lacrosse and field hockey teams all four years, and was an All-County lacrosse player in 2006. She was admitted to the University of Virginia (UVA), where she majored in political science and minored in Spanish. She was also a member of the sorority Kappa Alpha Theta. As a member of the UVA women's lacrosse team, the Cavaliers, Love scored her first goal in her first game, playing against Virginia Tech. She started in nine of her sixteen games in 2009, and in three of her fifteen games in 2010. George Huguely George Wesley Huguely V was born on September 17, 1987, in Washington, D.C., to George Wesley Huguely IV and Marta Sanson Lavarraque, who was first married to Andrew Murphy and whom she subsequently divorced. Huguely attended the all-boys Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland, and resided in Chevy Chase, Maryland. At Landon, Huguely played football, and was an All-American lacrosse player. During his senior year at Landon, he was the quarterback of the football team.In 2007, Huguely was charged with underage possession of alcohol in Florida, where his family owns a vacation house. In 2008, he was arrested for public drunkenness and resisting arrest outside the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity house located at Washington and Lee University. Police tased Huguely to subdue him. In that incident, he received a suspended sentence of sixty days and six months of probation, was fined, and was ordered to perform community service and participate in a drug treatment program. He did not disclose this arrest to UVA, despite a requirement to do so. During the 2010 season, Huguely was a midfielder for the Virginia Cavaliers men's lacrosse team. He majored in anthropology. Love and Huguely's relationship Love and Huguely met their freshman year, and were often seen hanging out together with their teammates. They had been dating for more than two years by the time of spring 2010, just prior to her murder. It was Huguely's aggressive behavior, triggered by alcohol, that caused their relationship to be on and off. In 2009, Huguely attacked a teammate after hearing that he had kissed Love. Before her murder, Huguely sent threatening text messages and emails to Love. Murder and initial arrest Around 2:15 a.m. EDT on May 3, 2010, Charlottesville police were called to Love's apartment on 14th Street in the University Corner district. At the scene, Love was found unresponsive, and was pronounced dead. The 9-1-1 call from Love's roommate reported that she suffered an alcohol overdose, but detectives noticed "obvious physical injuries to her body" upon arrival. The suspect, George Huguely, was living next door.On May 4, Huguely was charged with murdering Love, and was held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. At a May 6 court appearance, his attorney, Fran Lawrence, stated: “Ms. Love's death was not intended, but an accident with a tragic outcome.” Huguely appeared at the hearing via video.Huguely and Love dated over the course of two years, but had broken up. At the Charlottesville police station, Huguely waived his Miranda rights, and narrated graphic details of his assaulting Love, stating that he kicked open her locked bedroom door, and “shook Love, and her head repeatedly hit the wall.” Huguely admitted that he took, and intended to destroy, her Apple laptop computer when he fled her apartment. Evidence that police seized from Huguely's apartment included two Apple laptop computers, a spiral notebook, two white socks, bathroom and entryway rugs, and a Virginia lacrosse shirt with a red stain. Investigators also followed leads of domestic violence between Huguely and Love, including threatening email and text messages that he sent to her post-breakup; a violent encounter between the couple that was broken up by several visiting lacrosse players from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and an incident in which Huguely attacked Love while drunk, whereafter Huguely claimed he did not recall hitting her. An unnamed student reported that the couple broke up after the drunken Huguely assaulted Love. Legal proceedings A preliminary hearing for Huguely on a first-degree murder charge was held April 11, 2011, in Charlottesville District Court. Huguely continued to be held without bond at the Charlottesville jail. On January 7, 2012, prosecutors added five additional charges: felony murder, robbery of a residence, burglary, entering a house with an intent to commit a felony, and grand larceny. On April 18, 2011, a grand jury indicted Huguely on first-degree and felony murder charges, and a trial date of February 6, 2012, was set.Closing arguments were made on February 18, and jury deliberations began on Tuesday, February 22. After deliberating for about nine hours, the jury delivered a verdict of guilty of second-degree murder and grand larceny. After a further two hours of deliberation, the jury recommended a 26-year sentence: 25 years for second-degree murder, and one year for grand larceny. The jury ruled out the "heat of passion" clause that characterizes voluntary manslaughter. A few of the jurors who spoke to the news media cited the importance of the videotape of Huguely's police interrogation, which was a central part of prosecutor Dave Chapman's case; the jury found that “pretty much every opportunity he had, he lied first. He was not telling the truth on several occasions.” On May 8, 2012, non-jurors for the first time were able to see Huguely in a 64-minute video, in which he was told of Love's death. As he was interrogated by police, Huguely admitted, “I may have grabbed her neck,” and “maybe I shook her a little bit.” He then retells the argument and fight that happened in Love's bedroom, demonstrating how he shook her and kicked her door. Eventually, the detective informs Huguely that Love is dead. Huguely reacts in disbelief, and laments, “Kill me.” Because of the raw emotions seen in this tape, the jury was convinced that Love's murder was not premeditated. Conviction and sentencing On August 30, 2012, Huguely was formally sentenced to 23 years in prison by Judge Edward Hogshire, with sentences of 23 years for the second-degree murder conviction, and one year for the grand larceny conviction to run concurrently. Appeals process The Court of Appeals of Virginia issued a ruling on April 23, 2013, which granted Hug.... Discover the Edward Hogshire popular books.
