Defense attorney Fran Lawrence began his closing arguments in the murder
trial of former University of Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely V
with his hand on Huguely's back, emphasizing repeatedly that his client
had "no intent" to kill Yeardley Love.
"There's sorrow and loss and sadness on this side of the courtroom as well," Lawrence said. "You're the only 14 people in the world that know what happened.
