CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. - A video of George Huguely V and Yeardley Love briefly holding hands at a bar on the weekend she died was shown to the jury Friday morning.  George Huguely V arrives for his trial at the Charlottesville Circuit courthouse.  George Huguely V arrives for his trial at the Charlottesville Circuit courthouse.  Alina Massaro, Huguely's aunt and Godmother, was there that night in 2010 and she used stop-action of the security video with a pointer to narrate the scene.  The defense believes the encounter is important because it shows Huguely and Love acting in a friendly way after she had received an email from him that said, in part, "I should have killed you."  The prosecution believes it was unimportant because it occurred in a public place in a social situation, with parents and family members of several University of Virginia lacrosse players present. Prosecutor Warren D. Chapman said in his opening statement that after sending the email, Huguely killed Love the next time he saw her alone.  Huguely has pleaded not guilty to six charges in his first-degree murder case.  Defense attorney Rhonda Quagliana was sick for a second day Friday and the case in Charlottesville District Court adjourned after a brief morning session. Defense attorney Francis McQ. Lawrence said Quagliana had spent hundreds of hours preparing for medical testimony and that in fairness the defense could not proceed without her.  Judge Edward L. Hogshire ordered testimony to continue Friday on non-medical issues. Lawrence objected to proceeding without full representation for Huguely but called five defense witnesses.  Massaro was in Charlottesville for regular-season-ending festivities for the UVa men's lacrosse team, for which her nephew played. She referred to Huguely several times as "Georgie." The video showed Love talking to Massaro and embracing two of her daughters, according to what Massaro said; the video wasn't visible to spectators in the court.  Jurors also heard from two women who were high school students visiting UVa a week before Love's death. They met Huguely by chance and he invited them to wait in his apartment until they could locate a friend who was their host that weekend.  They testified that they saw Love come into Huguely's apartment and ask who they were and that she looked angry and frustrated and hit Huguely with her purse. One said Huguely backed away and asked her to leave and why she was there.  A biomechanical consultant testified that he could find no evidence that Love's head or any other object hit the wall in her bedroom. The prosecution contends Huguely broke into Love's bedroom and shook her violently against the wall before tossing her in bed and leaving with her computer.  A computer expert testified the laptop was worth between $150 and $200 on the night Love died, below the $200 threshold in Virginia for grand larceny, which is one of the charges against Huguely. The prosecution disputed his estimate.  The case will continue with an unusual Saturday session if Quagliana is well enough to be there. If she is, Lawrence said the defense expects to conclude its case Saturday. There will be no court Monday, a federal holiday, or Tuesday, when grand jury proceedings are scheduled.  , visit our FAQ's. To report corrections and clarifications, contact Standards Editor  .
