You would think you would get life for beating someone to death, if George W. Huguely V gets out for good behavior he will only be in his late 30s or early 40s.
Something seems wrong about that when you ready the story of what happened.
A former University of Virginia lacrosse player has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for the alcohol-fueled beating death of his ex-girlfriend.
George W. Huguely V was sentenced Thursday in Charlottesville for the slaying of Yeardley Love, a 22-year-old suburban Baltimore woman who was found face down in her blood-soaked pillow on May 3, 2010.
Authorities said the 24-year-old defendant left his on-again, off-again girlfriend to die after he kicked a hole in her bedroom door and physically confronted her about their sputtering two-year relationship.
While alcohol makes you do a lot of crazy things, but to beat someone bad enough to die, something had to be mentally wrong with Huguely for a long time.
I hope he serves his entire sentence.
