An evidentiary hearing will be held for George Huguely V in Charlottesville’s federal court after his counsel claimed that a dictionary was improperly consulted by the jury that convicted him of second-degree murder in 2012. Huguely, a former University of Virginia lacrosse player, was found guilty in Charlottesville Circuit Court in 2012 in the slaying of Yeardley Love, who also played lacrosse at UVa and was Huguely’s on-again, off-again girlfriend. She was found dead in her apartment in May 2010, two weeks before she and Huguely were set to graduate. In the years since the trial, Huguely has attempted to appeal the case in several instances, and in 2015, he appealed the case up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which refused his petition for certiorari on his claim that the circuit court denied his right to counsel by forcing him to proceed in the absence of his retained counsel of choice.
