Duke Lacrosse Players Smeared Again in Media Coverage of UVA Murder Case

I could have told you this was coming as soon as the terrible news about the death of UVA student Yeardley Love broke.

The 22-year-old women’s lacrosse player, just weeks from graduating, was found dead in her apartment early Sunday morning, in a pool of her own blood. Her ex-boyfriend, lacrosse player George Huguely has been charged with first-degree murder. He waived his right to an attorney and admitted to kicking in the door to her room and shaking her so that her head hit the wall many times. Love probably died of blunt force trauma. Huguely’s lawyer concedes his client attacked Love, but says he didn’t mean to kill her.
