CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.—A jury was selected Monday in the civil trial of a man who was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2010 death of University of Virginia (UVA) lacrosse player Yeardley Love.
A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Love’s mother seeks to hold George Huguely V liable in Yeardley’s killing. Love and Huguely—who also played lacrosse at UVA—were in an on-again, off-again dating relationship. The lawsuit seeks $29.5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.
