George Wesley Huguely V, 22, was convicted of second-degree murder in the May 3, 2010, death of Yeardley Reynolds Love, 22, in Charlottesville, and received 23 years for the murder.

Love, of Cockeysville, Maryland, was a fourth-year University of Virginia student, a member of the women's lacrosse team and weeks from graduation. Huguely, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, was a fourth-year UVA student and men's lacrosse player. The two had dated, but the relationship had ended.

On May 2, 2010, Huguely played in a father-son golf tournament at Wintergreen. He later told police he had consumed at least ten beers and two glasses of wine that day. Shortly before midnight, a resident below Love's 14th Street apartment heard a very loud noise from above. Huguely entered Love's unlocked apartment, kicked open her locked bedroom door and struggled with her. He took her laptop and threw it in a dumpster.

Love was found unresponsive in her bedroom early on May 3. An autopsy determined that she died from blunt force injury to the head. Charlottesville police detained Huguely that morning. His interview began at 7:52 a.m. with Detective Lisa Reeves and a second Charlottesville detective. Reeves told him she had no arrest warrant but that he was not free to leave, then read him his rights.

During the roughly hourlong interview, Huguely described the golf tournament and his drinking. He said he went to Love's apartment because he was angry that she would not talk to him. He admitted kicking in her bedroom door, wrestling with her on the floor and shaking her, and said her nose bled. He denied striking or strangling her, saying he may have grabbed her neck "a little." He said he pushed her onto the bed and left. Huguely admitted taking the laptop, calling it collateral. Reeves later told him flatly that Love was dead and that he had killed her. He responded, "I didn't kill her" and "I don't believe she's dead," and asked to see her. The tape was played to the jury in February 2012, when Huguely wept in court.

Huguely was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, robbery, grand larceny and two felony breaking-and-entering counts. On February 22, 2012, a Charlottesville Circuit Court jury acquitted him of both first-degree murder counts, robbery and the two breaking-and-entering counts. It convicted him of the lesser included offense of second-degree murder and grand larceny, recommending 26 years, 25 for the murder and one for the larceny. On August 30, 2012, Judge Edward Hogshire imposed 23 years for the murder, with one year concurrent for the larceny, plus three years of probation. Virginia has no parole and caps good-conduct credit at 15 percent.

The Court of Appeals of Virginia affirmed the conviction on March 4, 2014. In April 2020, Huguely filed a federal habeas petition in the Western District of Virginia alleging Sixth Amendment violations, including ineffective assistance of counsel and the jury's use of a dictionary definition of malice. The petition was denied. A Fourth Circuit panel refused a certificate of appealability in September 2021, and rehearing before the full court was denied in October 2021. Love's mother, Sharon Love, and sister, Lexi Love Hodges, brought a wrongful-death suit. On May 3, 2022, a jury awarded them $15 million, $7.5 million each. Huguely remains in Virginia Department of Corrections custody, with a projected release in 2030.

Never in my life has listening to a man talk made me want to kill myself more. And I've been divorced twice.

Couldn't fall asleep to this dickhead asshole either.

Good job George keep being annoying in prison.
