Prosecution Rests, Defense Begins in Murder Trial of Va. Lacrosse Player
The prosecution has rested in the trial of a former University of Virginia lacrosse player accused of first-degree murder in the slaying of his ex-girlfriend, in a final, violent encounter with the suburban Baltimore woman.Prosecutor Dave Chapman called about 50 witnesses over one week in the trial of 24-year-old George Huguely V before concluding his presentation to jurors Wednesday in Charlottesville Circuit Court.
The 24-year-old defendant is accused in the May 2010 death of 22-year-old Yeardley Love. She was found in her Charlottesville apartment bruised and bloodied.
The prosecution portrayed Huguely as a heavy drinking, jealous ex-boyfriend who broke into Loves bedroom and assaulted her by banging her head against a wall. She died of blunt force trauma.
Meanwhile, Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire has refused to reduce or dismiss charges against Huguely. With the motion dismissed, his attorneys have begun presenting their witnesses. Through the trial they have maintained Huguely is innocent and described Loves death as an accident.
