The murder of University of Virginia student Yeardley Love was widely publicized. In May 2010, the 22-year-old lacrosse player was found beaten to death in her Charlottesville, Va. apartment. Her boyfriend, George Wesley Huguely V, would later be convicted of second-degree murder and given a 23-year prison sentence.

According to CBS News, during his testimony, Huguely apologized to Love's mother and sister. "I take responsibility for what happened to her and I should have never gone over to her apartment that night," he said.
