George Huguely Trial: Medical Examiner Testifies About Yeardley Love's Injuries
Jurors saw photos of Yeardley Love's injured body on Monday.
Her ex-boyfriend George Huguely is accused of murdering her.

William Gormley, a Virginia medical examiner, who performed the autopsy on Love said Monday that the combination of bruises and scratches to her face, buttocks, leg, forearm and chest could not have been caused by a single impact, The Washington Post reports.

Her ex-boyfriend, George Huguely, who was a member of the university's men's lacrosse team, told police in a videotaped interview that he "shook her a little" and "may have grabbed her by the neck," but didn't inflict serious harm to her on the night she died in May 2010.

In early morning testimony, neuropathologist Christine Fuller has testified that "blunt force trauma" caused the contusions on Love's brain she found while dissecting the college senior, according to TV station WTVR. She conceded that the head injuries could have been caused by a fall, but it would have to been from a considerable height.

Photos of her bruised corpse were shown yesterday to the jury, attorneys and the judge, but were not publicly available. Her right eye was swollen shut and her face was covered with bruises and scrapes, according to a police report cited by CBS News.
