Defense lawyer: Va. player's death was accident

An accident is when you slip on the ice and hit your head. Not, as this link indicates, when someone kicks in your door, bangs your ahead against the wall and punches your eye shut!

Alas, the American people as jurors have been known to believe even less likelier stories.

Wonder why her roommate thought it might be alcohol poisoning, considering he kicked the door in?

His grandfather said George “is a good kid. I hope he gets to graduate. He’s got a good job lined up in DC.”
