    George Huguely Sentenced: Statement from Yeardley Love Family

    The family of Yeardley Love released the following statement after the jury recommended George Huguely receive a total of 26 years in prison for second degree murder and grand larceny conviction.

    "We dread looking back on the events of May 3, 2010 and pray for the strength to get through each day.

    Time has not made us miss Yeardley any less, in fact quite the opposite.

    It is truly devastating to wake up each day and realize that she is no longer here. Yeardley's contagious smile, kind spirit and gentle touch have left this world but we know that heaven has an angel like no other.

    We will continue to keep her spirit alive by performing works of kindness in her name.

    We would like to thank the Commonwealth and particularly Dave Chapman for his tireless efforts on our behalf.

    Our hearts burst with pride when we think of Yeardley's accomplishments but our hearts melt when we remember her kindness and grace.

    We have received letters from so many people telling us stories of her many acts of kindness. Intelligence and athletic ability are God given talents.

    Kindness and compassion are choices...choices that Yeardley made every day without a second thought. We'd like to thank everyone for their kindness and respect of our privacy during such a difficult time."

      Gee the poor little rich boy might get 26 years for killing someone......WoW!!
      He still seems not able to take responsibility for this actions and still looking to daddy & mommy to get him out of another mess he caused.

      This is called justice ...........
      • ART L 3 mths ago
        50-years MINIMUM he should have gotten. Unbelievable only 24 years.

        Money has nothing to do with it. Murder is murder.

        unless you actually were in the court room and looked at the evidence and heard the trial you can not pass judgement on another person yes they gave you some of the information given in the trial but i am sure you are missing a bunch of testimony information among other tid bits that you would not have been able to get unless you were actually in the court room. It would be like me condeming you for a murder and not even giving you a chance to say otherwise. So dont try and pass judgement when you didnt hear all the facts in the court room your self

      A young man with a lot of advantages ended up throwing it all away ... sorry, but he does not deserve a second chance ... after all, his victim does not get one does she.
      • Max Reiner 3 mths ago
        Right.
      • gamma 3 mths ago
        But he WILL get a second chance once released from prison. The young lady will NEVER get released from her grave. He should have been sentenced to a beating-to-death just lilke he gave her.

      Welcome to Prison, Chump.......HOLD MY POCKET!!!! He will get "his" due in prison. This sentencing is a JOKE!. Sell crack and get more years. Kill this girl and only 26 years...SYSTEM IS BROKEN!!!!
      • sinbad 3 mths ago
        I think the jury only recommended 26 years- hopefully the judge will actually give him a stiffer sentence- but I get your point fer sure it should be death
      • spanky 3 mths ago
        It was not 1st degree murder, which means it was not pre meditated. You dont get life for an accident. He killed the girl in a drunken rage. I'm not saying he should get off, but people are making sound like he's a menace to society. So lets hear it from all the fiscal conservatives that want to execute this kid right now. You better hope it's not your kid who accidently kills someone, so you can hear everyone else scream for them to be torn apart!
      • lisa 3 mths ago
        He is a menace to society. If he does this to one person in a drunken rage, he'll do it to someone else. He's a domestic abuser. I would venture to guess this hasn't been the first time he's pushed a woman around. Criminals have the rights whereas victims do not.

      Just once I would love to see people like this guy kill his self first and than we can all sleep at night. My prayers go out to the family, there are no words of comfort at times like this, however, there are still a few good people left in the world and we wish you well.

        That's also a good way for the taxpayers to not waste money on trying a worthless piece of S**t

        Trouble is they keep stopping POS like this from killing themselves.
    • John B  •  3 mths ago
      Being under the influence is no excuse ..... prison is too good for this animal!

        He knew he didn't handle liquor well but he drank anyway. Should have been first degree.

        will they place him in a private cell?
    • Norman  •  Little Rock, Arkansas  •  3 mths ago
      26 years for a taking a life? Are you kidding me? Were the jurors on drugs?
    • foreveryoung  •  3 mths ago
      It is really irritating when I read how people try to minimize abuse; "he pushed her around a bit" or "I shook her a little". Don't put your hands on her! This guy looks like so she's dead, so what's the big deal.
    • hapa  •  3 mths ago
      Why do people keep calling him a "pretty boy"?

      Murderer! He will be someones love toy in prison.

      And yet Kim Schmitz got 50 years in jail for Megaupload.com. Messed up people

      Such potential, cut down at the very beginning of her life...by a spoiled, stupid, drunk, bully - who KNEW he couldn't handle the alcohol!

      He'd be the likely candidate to be a wife abuser had he found any woman stupid enough to not see him for what he is. (which is most likely why Ms. Love decided to start seeing someone else.)

      He does have a "pretty face" though...and Bubba is going to have a wonderful time getting to know his new beotch in prison! 25 years might be just enough time to let this punk know just what it's like to be abused - SERIOUSLY abused by someone who is bigger, tougher, and deviant. Karma is a wonderful thing.

      When his "buddies" see just what beauty he snuffed out, they may feel justified in returning the favor...after sufficient trips to the shower.

      this murderer has just begun his trip down the rabbit hole. I doubt he'll ever get out. H3ll has just started for him!

      No one can know the loss that a family feels when they have lost a love one this way. I hope that one day they will find peace.
    • big daddy  •  3 mths ago
      if it were my daughter - he would get 26 years and upon his exit of prison he would get death
    • Priya  •  3 mths ago
      26 yrs for murder?
    • Sightless  •  New Braunfels, Texas  •  3 mths ago
      This is insane! I know a girl who got forty years for selling drugs, no one died. STUPID! I can't think of another word.
    • wild  •  Los Lunas, New Mexico  •  3 mths ago
      Another rich kid.....instead of receiving life or death like the rest of us would have received, he got 26 years and I bet he'll be on the streets in less than 10. Pot smokers receive more time in prison.
    • David  •  Washington, District of Columbia  •  3 mths ago
      The citizens of Our Country need to be protected. Forcing us to pay taxes to support killers is not protecting us. Execution at dawn, the day after sentencing protects us best. It is not revenge.
    • Adam O  •  Sacramento, California  •  3 mths ago
      This is not about how many years he gets. Just imagine a pretty boy like him in prsion.
    • Sonny D  •  Concord, California  •  3 mths ago
      26 years ,arethey out of their mind,this mean bas---- deserves the death penality, our justice system is so f---- up people get worse than that for smoking pot.
    • Arshieal  •  Chicago, Illinois  •  3 mths ago
      All these comments about prison a place none of you have been. Truth be told he'll adjust to it. The whole prison rape vindication is a myth for free citizens. He'll watch cable,play games, eat a hot three a day. And since the parents have money. Money will always be on his books for the extras at store and will keep potential threats paid and off a@$. he'll finish college or at least have the oppertunity. make friends and have visitors. So no! the time does not fit the crime.
      FIX THE SYSTEM!
