Today’s press conference at the UVA Library was the very first time that Virginia President John Casteen has answered questions from the media about the tragic murder of Yeardley Love. In the press conference, we learned that Coach Dom Starsia was not aware of the 2008 Lexington, Virginia arrest of former Virginia lacrosse player George Huguely. Also, John Casteen, Allen Groves, and Craig Littlepage made statements that they were also not aware of the 2008 arrest.
UVA Dean of Students Allen Groves mentioned in the press conference that the University needs to make it easier for students to come forward with information that could help prevent a situation like what transpired Sunday morning from happening again.
One of the questions that was asked of Craig Littlepage was what Yeardley Love’s parents said regarding the playing of the two lacrosse seasons, and Littlepage said they were very supportive of both seasons continuing. Craig Littlepage also mentioned that Yeardley’s parents decision was indeed a very important component in the decision to play in the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
Stay tuned to C-Ville Weekly online for more information on this case as it unfolds.
