Man convicted in UVA lacrosse player Yeardley Smith's 2010 murder expected to testify in civil trial

A jury was selected Monday in the civil trial of a man who was convicted of second-degree murder in the 2010 death of University of Virginia lacrosse player Yeardley Love.

A wrongful death lawsuit brought by Love's mother seeks to hold George Huguely liable in Yeardley's killing. Love and Huguely — who also played lacrosse at UVA — were in an on-again, off-again dating relationship. The lawsuit seeks $29.5 million in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages.

Huguely will be brought to court from prison on the day he is scheduled to testify, but not on the other days of the trial, his attorney said.
