Jurors found a former University of Virginia lacrosse player guilty of second-degree murder Wednesday in the slaying of his ex-girlfriend that was fueled by jealousy over her relationship with another lacrosse player.
Jurors met for nine hours in the trial of George Huguely V, rejecting a verdict of first-degree murder that could have resulted in life in prison in the May 2010 beating death of Yeardley Love.
He also was convicted of grand larceny. The two convictions call for a maximum of 60 years in prison.
Huguely, 24, of Chevy Chase, Md., did not visibly react to the verdict, and there was no overt sign of emotion in the courtroom, which included families of the victim and the defendant.
