My brother goes to UVA so I've heard of this event before. Hearing this just made me think that the murderer was really stupid. If it was the ex and it was over an argument he will get whats coming to him. I tend not to listen to gut feelings and use my head to work through things so I can't say if it was the ex or not because I don't have all the information. The victim probably was partially to blame because of the fact she was under the influence and most likely it affected her action. Just because this relationship obviously ended badly doesn't mean I'll give up trying to get one of my own.

Oh my goodness. No I have not heard of this story until now. This is crazy and heartbreaking. My gut feeling is maybe. All the signs are there, and I don't feel as if there was a true reason to do that to her. I do not feel as if she could be partially to blame for her murder because the doctor said mixing her Adderall and Alcohol had nothing to do with her death. This story makes me think twice about everything now. How do you know that your boyfriend isn't crazy? That's a scary thought, hope mine is not!

Yes,I had heard a little about the UVA lacrosse player's death.My reaction to the news story was sad because I feel nobody should go threw what she went threw.Yes I think her jealous boyfriend is guilty of murder because he was the last person with her,and also she had other injuries before she got killed from her relationship with him.No I don't think Yeardley Love could be partially to blame for her own death for mixing even small amounts of Adderall and alcohol.I don't think so because the doctor said she didn't have a high dose of it.No it really doesn't make me think twice about dating.

No i haven't heard about it yet but i have now. My reaction was shocked because it just surprises me how people do these things to other people. Yes I think it was the boyfriend because the doctors said that the level of Adderall could not have killed her and she died from blunt force trauma. No I don't think that it was her fault. It doesnt really make me think twice about dating just making better choices.

I think that her boyfriend killed her. I think that he was probably a very jealous guy that could have seen her talking to some male friend and took it the wrong way. This is just my opinion, and could very likely be wrong considering I do not know more information about the situation. But definitaly from watching the clip from the news it would make you believe that the boyfriend had been abusing the victim and then took it too far one time. And thats all that it took to make the biggest mistake of his life.

No, I haven't heard about the UVA lacrosse player's death. I think it's crazy how he would do that to her. He could be blamed for the death, just because he did leave bruises and other stuff on her. I don't think she would be blamed for her own death, because the doctor said that she didn't have a high dose of it. It doesn't make me think twice about dating, just hope this doesn't happen to anyone else!

I had not previously heard of the lacrosses player's death. I feel that the death of this young girl is especially tragic, because she was obviously trying to make something of her life by attending a supurb, historical university. I believe that the boyfriend could be the murderer, because he seems very non-chalant in the whole deal, and openly admits to hitting and potentially choking her. I think that the combination of Adderall and alchohol probably hindered her judgement, and played a role in the murder whether her boyfriend committed it or not. This makes me cautious of unfamiliar people, especially in college, but the issue of dating does not currently concern me right now, or in the near future.

I have heard this story on the news myself. My first reaction was the obvious sympathy i felt for the young woman who is now dead. Her life was just beginning. I can honestly say i don't know if her boyfriend is to blame or not. I don't know enough about him or her to make that assumption. Just because he is jealous, doesn't mean he is capable of murder. But on the other hand, maybe this time he was pushed over the edge. I cant say that she is partially responsible for her death because no one should suffer and die the way she did. However, she did put herself in a really bad position. This story does not make me think twice about dating because i am responsible. Don't get me wrong, EVERY teenager makes dumb decisions. Its how you learn from them, and make the decision not to let it happen again because some decisions are undo-able.

I have not heard of this OMG! My reaction to this is shocking that her boy would hurt her because he is jealous!! He was also the last person with her! I don't think the mixing was that made her die, because that little amount wouldn't do that much, it was her boyfriend. This doesn't really make me think twice about dating.

I think this is horrible! I think if her boyfriend said he strangled her some that’s enough to go to jail. If her DNA was under his nails and his was under hers that doesn’t always mean that was from a struggle, they are collage teenagers. But I don’t agree with men or women being jealous or controlling. I don’t think she is to blame for her death because a lot of kids take adderoll and mix it with alcohol; all that does is keep you up longer and more hyper. This doesn’t make me think twice about dating because what ever happens in life happens but I will never date somebody that’s jealous or controlling which will ultimately help with my chance of danger, even though we all know everybody has a slight crazy side.

Emily Walker said...

That's crazy. The jealous boyfriend seemed like he was guilty of murder because when they showed him he was smiling and chatting. I know that if my boyfriend had died I would definitely not be acting the way he was. That made me seem suspicious of him. On the other hand Yeardley Love could be partially to blame for her own death because she mixed Adderall and alcohol. I'm not really sure what those two things can do together but it doesn't seem smart. This story doesn't really make me think twice about dating because if you don't know the person well enough to know that they won't kill you then you obviously shouldn't be dating them.

I had previously heard about this case. I was very shocked by the details of the way that she was killed. I do think that the boyfriend does feel bad about the crime he committed. He should feel guilty about killing his girlfriend, especially with the details that describe the way she was killed. I don't think that she is partially to blame because from the way that her death is described this was premeditated and he had already set in his mind that she had to be done away with.

No, I havn't heard of the UVA lacrosse player's death. I was kinda sad that a man would try to hurt his wife. Honestly I really don't know if the jealous boyfriend is guilty of murder. Once again, honestly I really don't know if Yeardley Love could be partially to blame for her own death for mixing even small amounts of Adderall and alcohol. Honestly, I really don't about dating.

I've never heard this story before. This is absolutely crazy! I am so mad at that maniac. Of course it's his fault, knowing that he was last one with her. He says it himself that he shook her and grabbed her neck. If he can go that far, how can he not kill her? People are freaking crazy! The drinks has nothing to do with this story, because she didn't drink and kill herself. She was murdered. Whenever I hear stories like these, it freaks me out that someone has the guts to kill the person they used to date. It does scare me about dating, a lot.

I haven't heard about his death until i watched this video. I didn't have a reaction to the news story.
I don't know who's guilty for the murder.

I have heard this story a while back. I think he killed her. There may be people who start talking about each other after a break up, but he went too far.

I had not heard of Yeardley Love's death until today. I thought the boyfriend could've been to blame since she had cuts and stuff but then they said she had massive amounts of alchol and aderol in her system. So, I dont think he is to blame, I NEED TO HEAR HIS SIDE. So I can know if he sounds sincere, but if you have an high school love I could never imagine killing them even if I was angry.

Martha Ann Griffin said...

No. I can't believe that I didn't hear this on the news. Yes, people who are innocent don't go into court smiling and talkative. I think she should be blamed a little bit , she should have known not to mix medicine and alcohol.Yes!

First of all the girl is gorgeous but who would name their daughter Yeardley. Now i can say I've seen it all. According to the news there wasn't enough evidence to convict her boyfriend. Thsi proves you got to know who your dating if aif they ever try to hurt you in anyway call someone and break it off there. No one should be afraid of dating. It's part of lfe.

No I have not heard the death of UVA lacrosse player. The jealous boyfriend is not guilty for the murder. Yes I think Yeardley Love death was her own for alcohol. Most of the alcohol can cause some people to die.

No, I havent heard about her death. However, all the evidence is there that could support her boyfriend killing her. Evidence such as all the bruises, him admitting to grabbing her neck, dna under both of their finger nails. Since they were on and off again, I think that he may have gotten jealous over something that may have happened while they weren't dating. I don't think that the mixture of adderal and alcohol had anything to do with her death. -Josh Cutchins

I did hear about it. I didn't react because I already knew about it. I think the boyfriend did it because he was jealous. I think he did because he had her DNA under his names and she had his DNA under hers. I don't think alcohol and adderall had anything to do with it the cause of death is blunt force trauma to the head. It doesn't make me think twice about dating it just makes me want to choose very carefully.

Katelyn said...

I haven't heard about the UVA lacrosse player. It is very sad to see a young girl just beginning her life, dead. I'm not very sure what actually happened to her. Some part of me thinks he did kill her, another part of me thinks he didn't. They found DNA of her though, so i still don't know. I think that she didn't kill herself with the mixing of Adderall and alcohol. They said in the video, that it was very small amounts of it. Not anywhere near to kill her. Also, they said that wasn't the reason why. This story doesn't make me think twice about dating. It does make me keep my eyes open. Their are some cruel people in this world.

Makayla said...

I have seen a little bit about this story on the news but I have never caught the full story until now. I want to know why he did it because that was someone else daughter. I bet at the moment he was doing what he did, he didn't think about his future or if that was his daughter. I think he is guilty, because why else would a jealous boyfriend murder his girl if he wasn't jealous. I think that she is just a little bit able to blame for her death because why would you mix Adderall and alcohol? This story makes me think twice about not only who I date but who I meet and associate with.

Dr. Watson said...

I never heard anything about the UVA lacrosse player's death. The jealous boyfriend is guilty of murder because he was the last one with her, he had anger problems, and he smiles about it. No because I take Adderall, and I know that you have to have a really high dose to cause death. The medical examiner reports that her death is from blunt trauma. No, this video doesn’t make me think twice about dating?

Mary Alice said...

I hadn't heard of this before I saw the video. I think that it is always sad to hear about young people or even anyone dying especially in this way. I do think that the guy is guilty because he did admit to grabbing her neck "a little bit." Also he was laughing and smiling going into court and I don't think someone that just had their girlfriend murdered would be acting that way. I don't think that the girl is to blame for her death at all.

Shannon said...

No i had not heard of this death. I think this story was crazy. Yes I honestly believe that he is the one that murdered her. He obviously was abusing her with all the brusing and cuts and the way he said he kicked down her door and that he may have choked her some. He was violent and had violent tendencies so if he didn't kill her I would be surprised. I believe she may have mixed some but look at the situation she had herself in what else was she supposed to do about dealing with all the pain and torment. No this story does not make me think twice because I know who I date and he would never do that to me.

no i hadnt heard. Its crazy what jealious people will do. Yea he killed her. Cause you dont mix adderall and alcohol. No.

Ashlee said...

This is just insane! Even though I haven't heard of this story, I don't see why anyone would become so jealous as to kill another human being! That just shows that jealousy can bring no good to anyone.
I do believe that the boyfriend was the one to murder to poor girl. He was known to be on and off again with her on top of being a heavy drinker. The jealous boy even admitted to putting his hands around her neck and "shaking" her. Her injuries were severe and he was the last person seen with her. So I'm going with my gut and saying that he was the one that killed that poor girl.
No, I don't believe that she was responsible for her own death. Yeah, she did mix two deadly things together, but even the medical examiners said that the mix did not effect her death at all.
The story doesn't make me think twice about dating. I do feel horrible for the girl. But I wouldn't put myself in a kind of situation that she was in to begin with.

Amber Furman said...

Yeah, I have seen this on the news a whole lot. I think its really sad but, unfortunately stuff like this happens all the time. I am pretty sure the boyfriend did it because he said he did shake her, and maybe squeeze her neck a little bit. He just isn't telling the whole story I think. I don't think she is to blame for her death. I think yeah, the Adderall and alcohol may have hurt her, but I don't believe it'd kill her. I would never date someone who ever laid their hands on me. If they did it'd be the last time they did.

Charlene Turner said...

No I haven't. It was sad. Yes I do think he is guilty because he was the last one to grad her can't really say he didn't beat her in the head in process. No because she did fight back in some way. Anything can happen in life that doesn't mean be afraid to live.
