CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Prosecutors will continue their case Thursday in the trial of a former University of Virginia lacrosse player accused of killing his ex-girlfriend.

George Huguely V faces first-degree murder and five other charges in the May 2010 death of Yeardley Love.

Huguely's attorneys said during opening statements Wednesday he was very drunk the night Love died and was incapable of plotting to kill her.

Prosecutor Dave Chapman said Huguely had a pattern of violence against Love and intended to kill her and steal her laptop to get rid of incriminating evidence. Chapman said two days before Love's death, Huguely accused Love of having another relationship.

Love's two roommates and teammates on the women's lacrosse team were among the prosecution witnesses called Wednesday.

The trial continues Thursday in Charlottesville Circuit Court.
