At a hearing yesterday, Circuit Court Judge Edward Hogshire denied a motion filed by George Huguely to introduce videotaped statements from family members at sentencing proceedings so that they could be present in the courtroom throughout the trial, according to a report by NBC29. Huguely, a former University student and men's lacrosse player, is facing a first-degree murder charge for the death of his former girlfriend, Yeardley Love.
The motion, which was filed Tuesday, stated that Huguely's family members who will be called to testify "wish to remain in the courtroom during the trial."
Commonwealth's Attorney Dave Chapman said the request would not allow the witnesses to be cross-examined, NBC29 reported. Hogshire denied the request on the grounds that Virginia code allows family to either be present at the trial or to testify at sentencing in person.
Huguely's trial is scheduled for February.
