Slain U.Va. student’s records to remain sealed

Published



The medical records of murdered University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love will remain sealed except information regarding her Adderall prescription, Charlottesville Judge Robert H. Downer Jr. ruled on Wednesday. Downer privately reviewed Love’s medical records dating back more than four years and ruled in a five-minute hearing that nothing in the documents — apart from her legally prescribed Adderall dosage — is relevant to the defense’s case. Defense attorneys for George Huguely, the U.Va. lacrosse player charged in Love’s death, had requested the medical records.

Downer said Love’s mother, Sharon, had protested the request in a letter addressed to the court.
