George Huguely V is escorted to Charlottesville Circuit Court for a hearing Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012 in Charlottesville, Va. Charlottesville Circuit Judge Edward Hogshire rejected a defense motion to set aside Huguely V’s second-degree murder conviction and order a new trial in the May 2010 killing of Yeardley Love. Huguely V was convicted in February of killing of Love in a violent encounter in her Charlottesville apartment after a day of binge drinking by Huguely. In arguing for a new trial, attorneys for Huguely cited a series of errors before and during his trial. His sentencing is Aug. 30. He faces up to 26 years in prison.

FILE - This is a 2010 file photo showing Greg Halman of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. A Dutch court has ordered the brother of slain former Mariners outfielder Greg Halman provisionally released after prosecutors joined the defense in asking for his acquittal on manslaughter charges. Jason Halman is believed to have fatally stabbed his older brother after the two quarreled about loud music in the early hours of Nov. 21, 2011. During Jason Halman's trial, psychiatrists said he was having a psychotic episode at the time of the killing, which took place in an apartment they were sharing in Rotterdam.
