Judge denies Huguely

By Ana Mir | December 2, 2011

At a hearing yesterday, Circuit Court Judge Edward Hogshire denied a motion filed by George Huguely to introduce videotaped statements from family members at sentencing proceedings so that they could be present in the courtroom throughout the trial, according to a report by NBC29. Huguely, a former University student and men's lacrosse player, is facing a first-degree murder charge for the death of his former girlfriend, Yeardley Love. The motion, which was filed Tuesday, stated that Huguely's family members who will be called to testify "wish to remain in the courtroom during the trial."

Council to address local discrimination

By Joseph Liss | November 29, 2011

Charlottesville City Council will consider a proposal next Monday for the creation of a new human rights commission to address concerns about fair housing and employment and to potentially enforce a new local anti-discrimination policy. The proposal came from discussions within the Dialogue on Race, a committee which has been meeting regularly since 2009 to discuss discrimination issues in Charlottesville, said Walt Heinecke, a member of the committee and associate professor of education at the University's Education School. The proposed commission will make permanent the work of the Dialogue on Race and try to enforce anti-discrimination laws "primarily on skin color," Charlottesville Mayor Dave Norris said. Several nonprofit organizations agree there is a need for a commission but have a different vision for what the commission should look like. "We think there is a real need ... to acknowledge that problems around fair housing and [fair employment] exist," said Joe Szakos, executive director for Virginia Organizing, an activist group which encourages grassroots participation in local issues.
