Yeardley Love Murder: George Huguely's Trial Enters Second Week

Charlottesville prosecutors called investigators and the state medical examiner to the stand Monday.

 

Prosecutors resumed testimony Monday in the trial of George Huguely V, the University of Virginia lacrosse player accused in the death of girlfriend Yeardley Love in May 2010.

Huguely, now 24, of Chevy Chase is accused of beating Cockeysville native Love, then 22, to death in her off-campus Charlottesville apartment. The trial began on Feb. 6.

Monday's proceedings in Charlottesville Circuit Court included testimony from the state medical examiner and graphic photos shown to the jury from Love's autopsy. Love's mother, Sharon, left the room while the autopsy photos were shown, while Huguely looked away, ABC2 News reported.

The medical examiner testified that Love suffered numerous injuries consistent with smothering, a strike, falling and strangulation, WJZ-TV reported.

Prosecutors also showed pictures investigators took while searching Huguely's apartment, as well as photos and video taken of Huguely after his arrest. He told police at the time that the injuries were sustained in a recent lacrosse game, according to ABC2 News.

Investigators have not testified if red stains in Huguely's bathroom are blood, or, if so, whose it was, The Daily Progress, a Charlottesville newspaper, reported.

The trial could last through next week. WBAL-TV reporter Lowell Melser suggested on Twitter Monday evening that Virginia prosecutors could be able to rest their case by Wednesday.

The family is harassing a poster who is objectively reviewing this case. I see where the the deceased received her manners and behavior. Not to sound careless about her death what so ever but, this is a trial and both sides are reviewed. The boy and girl were drunk, very drunk. She was in the 0.25 range and was under the influence of an amphetamine. She had many spontaneous boyfriends too. I am not surprised at the outcome and am glad that I do keep an eye on my daughter.

Where is the family harassing a poster?

Do you have proof for any of those claims?

"Gormley testified that Love’s blood alcohol level that night was .14, nearly double the legal limit of .08. Huguely told police he had 12 drinks of beer and wine on May 2, but his blood alcohol level was not tested after his May 3 arrest."

If you're wrong on the 0.25 then what else are you wrong about.

That's the legal limit for driving, not for going to bed drunk.
