Charlottesville Circuit Court Judge Edward Hogshire ruled yesterday he will sentence former University student George Huguely Aug. 30 at 1 p.m.
A jury in February found Huguely guilty of the second-degree murder of former University student Yeardley Love, as well as grand larceny. The jury recommended the ex-Virginia lacrosse player serve a 26-year prison term - 25 years for the second-degree murder conviction and one year for grand larceny.
About 60 cases were scheduled during yesterday's Docket Day. But the only motion filed by Huguely's attorneys asked for more time to file an appeal, saying the defense's court reporter needs two months to complete transcripts from the February trial, Clerk of Charlottesville Circuit Court Llezelle Dugger said.
Hogshire gave Huguely's attorneys until May 25 to file an appeal asking for a new trial. The Commonwealth's attorney must respond to the appeal by June 8, and the defense must then file a rebuttal by June 22. Commonwealth's and defense attorneys will argue the motions in Charlottesville Circuit Court June 29 at 2 p.m.
Huguely was not at the courtroom yesterday. He is currently being held in the Charlottesville-Albemarle Regional Jail.
