UVA lax homicide

[ugarte]

No jokes from me, nor any discussion of impact on the postseason. Just a tragedy: a player on the Virginia men's team is being charged with first-degree murder in the death of a player (and ex-girlfriend) on the women's team. http://is.gd/bSpxp

That article links to this one which quotes the suspect when he was a high school senior talking about the Duke incident:

Although Bordley said he constantly cautions the team about the dangers of alcohol in the wake of the incident -- the Duke players have admitted underage drinking occurred at the party -- such warnings have taken on new relevance. Huguely's father, George, Sr. said yesterday that he's had discussions with his son, who will play at University of Virginia next season, about staying out of situations that could be costly.

"Regardless of what winds up happening, you have to learn from this experience and take what you can from it," George Huguely Sr. said. "You always have to remember and can't let yourself be in a situation where something like this could happen."
