UVA lacrosse player found dead.

On May 3rd at 2:15 am Yeardley Love was found dead in her off campus apartment at the University of Virginia. She was a senior lacrosse player gearing up for graduation and the NCAA Lacrosse Championships. In a news article done by abc, it was reported that police were called in to help after one of Yeardley's roommates found her face down on her bed. She assumed the incident was an alcohol overdose but police could tell right away that there was physical trauma done to her body. Police were led to her boyfriend, George Huguely who was arrested for murder in the first degree.

Students at UVA are shocked to hear Huguely as a suspect in the chilling case. One student was quoted saying, "Huguely was always well liked and well respected and had plenty of friends." The source also commented saying, "He had a clean history and he had a good job lined up at the commercial real estate firm in Washington, D.C." Huguely is still being held in prison and will not be able to set bail at this time.

This story seems oddly familiar. It reminds me of the Duke Lacrosse scandal in which three Duke Lacrosse Players were indicted on charges of rape, sexual assault, and kidnapping. The players were wrongly accused and eventually dropped of all charges. I hope that the murder at UVA does not follow the same pattern as the Duke scandal. I hope the police are positive they have the right person in custody.
