UVA Lacrosse Death "Not Intended," Seasons To Continue

((HT: WCAV-TV Charlottesville))

The HQ would love to know what that really means at present, but we'll leave it alone for now...

The lawyer for the defendant in the UVa lacrosse murder case told reporters that George Huguely did not intend to kill Yeardley Love, and that it was a "tragic accident."

Huguely is the accused in the murder of Love.
Both played for the university's lacrosse teams.

He appeared in a Charlottesville courtroom this morning through a video link-up from Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail.

After the hearing, defense lawyer Fran Lawrence told reporters that Love's death was "not intended but an accident with a tragic outcome." Lawrence also said in a statement that Huguely would be withdrawing from the university.
