George W. Huguely V, the former University of Virginia lacrosse player convicted of beating to death his sometimes girlfriend, Yeardley Love, was sentenced to 23 years in prison.
Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire in Charlottesville, Virginia, imposed the punishment today after a jury found Huguely guilty of second-degree murder on Feb. 22. Jurors recommended a 25-year sentence for the crime, an intentional killing that, unlike first degree murder, isn’t premeditated.
