Appeal over dictionary use denied in U Va lacrosse slaying

Appeal Granted in 2010 UVA Slaying Over Malice Definition – NBC4 Washington

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.” A finding of malice was necessary to convict Huguely of murder, and his appellate attorneys say use of a dictionary would be inadmissible evidence and that the jury instructions contained a detailed legal definition of malice that should have guided the jury s discussions. State judges had heard this same argument and rejected it. Only one juror said the jury received a dictionary from a bailiff; other jurors couldn t remember and one other juror explicitly denied a dictionary was used.
