George Hughley, was a 22 year old lacrosse player at the University of Virginia with a beautiful girlfriend and seemly the world in his palms. But all of this changed, as he spun out of control in a cycle of sex alcohol and eventually violent rage. And one night his young girlfriend, Yeardley Love was found dead by her roommate. As violent emails surfaced and proof that Love had been murdered along with proof that Hughley was in her home that night, suspicions increased. For his allegated crime the jury has recommeded he spend 26 years incarcerated. The case is both sad and tragic as two lives that had so much potential are now coming to an end, one through death the other through jail.
