[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For me, the l[b]acrosse murder[/b] and then the Rolling Stone article were strike one and two with strike 3 being the neo nazi march. I don't think that makes me oversensitive.

To the PP who suggests the AA female student attend GMU instead, academically GMU might not be the right fit.[/quote]

You do realize the Rolling Stone article was false?  That Rolling Stone had to pay damages to UVA for that piece?  UVA, as an institution, had nothing to do with the alt.right march.  UVA didn't even know they were going to march there the night before the permit-allowed protest in Charlottesville.

As to the "lacrosse murder" I think you are confusing it with the Duke Lacrosse case.  Please read here as to the 9 year old story of what actually happened, which could happen on any campus in the world.  Huguely did not intend to kill his girlfriend.  Alcohol was involved.  Lacrosse was not.  https://www.today.com/news/george-huguely-s-mother-speaks-out-first-time-death-yeardley-t107308[/quote]

[b]Wait HOLD THE PHONE.

Did you just say "Huguely did not intend to kill his girlfriend"?????????

He was convicted of 2nd degree murder which is the INTENTIONAL murder of a person. He was convicted of INTENTIONALLY killing Yardley Love.

Are you insane! That's UVA for you.[/b]

Not insane.  There is a huge difference between what a defendant's position is and what the judge or jury may find.  You know that.  How many prisoners have told you "they didn't do it".  Here's what Huguely's lawyer said (from wiki): "Huguely's attorney, Fran Lawrence, stated: "Ms. Love's death was not intended but an accident with a tragic outcome."  When the police first found her they and her roommate concluded it was alcohol poisoning.  It was the jury that convicted Huguely of 2nd degree murder.  Huguely didn't plead out and admit anything.  He also appealed but the appeal was denied.[/quote]

A rich white preppy lax UVA male didn't admit fault, well bless your heart.

Except the physical evidence showed he took her by her shoulders and violently beat her head against the headboard until she was dead.

He violently beat and murdered her.

Are you seriously saying that the defense statements are true, because you know you can lie in defense closing statements.

You are defending a UVA lacrosse player who violently murdered his girlfriend beacauae she drank that night? Or he drank so it doesn't count?

That's UVA for you.[/quote]
