Day 11 of the Huguely trial — defense rests, arguments done, jury deliberates Wednesday
Day 11 of the George Huguely trial was a complete mess.

On Day 8 of the George Huguely murder trial, the defense began to present its expert witnesses to dispute the prosecution’s version of Yeardley Love’s death.
