The preliminary trial date for George Huguely, the former fourth-year student and UVA lacrosse player charged with the homicide of fellow student Yeardley Love, has been moved from October 7 to January 21 at 1pm. Cameras have been banned from the trial by Charlottesville General District Court Judge Robert Downer, Jr., so as not to influence jurors. This is the third time Huguely’s trial date has been moved; the date was originally set for June 10.
This afternoon, a news release announced the creation of the One Love Foundation, in memory of Yeardley Love.
"The mission of the foundation is to encourage and develop in children and young adults four qualities of character that Yeardley exemplified…service, kindness, humility and sportsmanship…that together add up to One Love," says Sharon Love, Yeardley’s mother, in the release. "The foundation would like to ‘bring out the Yeardley’ in everyone by igniting the spirit of One Love in children and young adults, encouraging them to choose a path of goodness."
As part of the foundation’s effort to honor Love, another organization, the Charles T. Bauer Foundation, will offer matching funds to donors up to $500,000 to fund a four-year scholarship to be awarded every fourth year to a student of Love’s former school, Notre Dame Preparatory Academy.
