Charlottesville, Va.
An attorney for the 22-year-old man charged with killing a University of Virginia varsity women’s lacrosse player from Cockeysville claimed Tuesday that the death of Yeardley Love was “an accident with a tragic outcome.”
In the first court proceeding since the alleged murder, George Huguely was shown sitting in a room in Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail on a closed-circuit television screen in a courtroom packed with more than two dozen reporters. Dressed in striped prison jumpsuit, Huguely appeared nervous, his hands resting tensely on his knees, awaiting word from District Court Judge Robert Downer and his lawyer Francis Lawrence, a Charlottesville defense attorney.

Yeah, right - an accident. The old “the gun went off, I don’t know how” or “I didn’t hit her that hard, she fell” etc. etc.
