UVA Lacrosse Player Gets 23 Years in Ex-Girlfriend Death

George W. Huguely V, a former University of Virginia lacrosse player convicted in the alcohol-fueled slaying of ex-girlfriend Yeardley Love in 2010, was sentenced to 23-years in prison on Thursday, The Associated Press reported. He will serve one year concurrently for grand larceny, and will have supervised probation after his release. A prosecutor on the case teared up as he spoke to reporters. "All I see is loss," Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Chapman. "It will be that way forever." Huguely, of Md., had faced up to 26 years in prison for the beating death of Love. Both were students and lacrosse players at the University of Virginia when she was killed. Huguely was convicted in February of second-degree murder and grand larceny. The jury had recommended 26 years, including one for grand larceny.
