Former University of Virginia men’s lacrosse player George Huguely has had his jail sentence reduced to twenty – three years from the original twenty – six. He has been charged with murdering his former girlfriend Yeardley Love who was a member of Virginia’s women’s lacrosse team. They were both just weeks away from graduating when this horrible tragedy occurred on May 3rd, 2010. What makes this even sadder is the fact that Love’s sister is in the process of getting married and there will be a very noticeable absence at the wedding. In my opinion, the only reason Hugely’s sentence got reduced was the fact that Virginia law states the judge can reduce but not increase a sentence.
