FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — A federal judge has granted a limited appeal filed by a former University of Virginia lacrosse player convicted a decade ago of murdering his ex-girlfriend.
George Huguely V is serving a 25-year sentence for the 2010 slaying of Yeardley Love, who was herself a lacrosse player at U.Va. and was two weeks away from graduation when she was killed.
In a ruling issued Monday, U.S. District Judge Thomas Cullen in Roanoke ordered an evidentiary hearing be held to determine whether the jury improperly used a dictionary to look up the definition of “malice.”
