Teammates testify of Huguely's 'out of control' drinking

CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. — Prosecutors on Wednesday called their final witnesses in the trial of a University of Virginia lacrosse player accused of killing his former girlfriend.

Jurors deciding the fate of 24-year-old George Huguely V heard from five of Huguely’s lacrosse teammates who described his frequent drinking and said he was heavily intoxicated the night 22-year-old Yeardley Love was slain. Three young women who received messages from Huguely the night of May 2, 2010, or early-morning of May 3, when Love’s beaten body was found in her apartment, also testified.
