Nearly 12 years after University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love was found dead, the man convicted of second-degree murder in her killing is headed back to court for a civil trial.
FILE - Members of the Virginia women's lacrosse team hold candles during a memorial for teammate Yeardley Love at the school in Charlottesville, Va., Wednesday, May 5, 2010. Nearly 12 years after University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love was found dead, George Huguely, convicted of second-degree murder in her killing is headed back to court for a civil trial.
A medical examiner concluded Love, 22, died of blunt force trauma to her head, but defense and prosecution experts offered differing medical opinions on the lethal consequences of her injuries. The civil trial is expected to include many of the same witnesses and testimony — friends, roommates, other lacrosse players and medical experts — although many of them are expected to testify in videotaped depositions instead of in person.
Huguely’s attorney, Matthew Green, said the defense will acknowledge that Huguely's assault and battery caused Love's death and that her family is entitled to compensatory damages in an amount to be decided by the jury. But he said the defense does not believe punitive damages are appropriate.
