selection got under way today. julie? >> reporter: well, it is slow going here today selecting a jury. when the judge asks jurors if they heard about this case every hand goes up in the air. the bigger problem is that most of the jurors say they cannot be impartial in this case. so far only nine have been identified as potential jurors. nearly two times that many have already been sent home. today marked the first time accused killer george huguely has come to court since charges were filed against him on may 3rd, 2010, in the beating death of his former girlfriend yardly love. the george huguely who entered the courtroom looked strikingly different, far thinner than before. his once shaggy hair shaved off in jail has started to grow back. six times huguely replied, not guilty to the charges against him. the most serious? first-degree murder. huguely's arrest in the death of 22-year-old yardly love came just weeks before the two were scheduled to graduate from the university of virginia. both played on the school's top

ranked la crosse teams. the case captured national headlines when court documents revealed huguely told police he had gotten into a violent fight with love at her apartment, shaking her and hitting her head against the wall. police say he fled, stealing her lap top. her roommate found love face down on a bloody pillow. reports also surfaced huguely had been violent before. today attorneys struggled to find impartial jurors who haven't made up their minds abouthe defendant. david highlyberg is a prominent attorney following the case. >> this is the whole issue when there is this much media coverage about a case in advance. it excuse people's attitudes about the case right or wrong. >> reporter: because of that jurors were questioned individually. huguely sat expressionless as jurors were asked their attitudes on subjects ranging from campus drinking to male athletes and domestic violence. the majority were dismissed, unable to be impartial. it looks like both sides are

bending over backwards to select the fairest jury possible. >> listening to the jury selection on the front row on one side huguely's family, mother, and step father along with his dad. across the aisle love's mother and sister each wearing pink the signature color of the one love foundation created in yardly love's honor. because of the difficulty finding jurors, jury selection will continue into the evening hours tonight. it will resume again tomorrow. coming up on news 4 at 6:00 i'll take a look at some of the direct questions being asked of jurors. some of them provide a road map to the defense strategy ahead. reporting live from charlottesville, julie carey, news 4. >> we'll check back at 6:00 tonight. thank you. d.c. police are investigating a shooting that occurred near an educational facility in southeast. authorities say a man was shot in the 300 block of livingston terrace. he did run inside the harris education center for help and there they called 911 and the victim was taken to a hospital. the harris educational center is used for vocational education. it's operated by the udc and it

their prize. papa john's just got a free commercial. >> brilliant. >> that is good. what did you think of the game? >> loved it. big finish. >> i thought it was a little slow. i thought the giants, i was glad the giants won. >> that's good. did you pick the giants. this is going to impress you too. it was the most watched television show in u.s. history. 111.3 million people watched the giants beat the patriots, 21-17 topping last year's super bowl. our own jim vance and dan hellie recapped the big game from indianapolis. i guess you could say the fact that the giants were even here was improbable. the fact that they won another super bowl for the second time in four calendar years really amazing. they were 7-7 just six weeks ago. >> it is incredible considering the fact that the lowell redskins beat them twice. as you said though that is one

of the things that pumped them up. at that point they had to win out in order to get here six straight. >> i was impressed with how physical the game was yesterday. those guys were hitting. we were way up and still could hear them. >> the giants in the end were the more physical team. maybe it's easy to say since they won the game. they were laying the wood to them. from the defense to the offense the giants really from start to finish, they started strong and finished strong. eli has done that all year long. >> he's really starting to write his ticket to canton. >> i thought you were crazy but you're not. and eli manning is the guy that everybody was praising after this big win. >> it's ban wild game, a wild season. but we had a great tough bunch of guys. guys who never quit. great faith in each other. and proud of our team the way we

dealt with everything all season and came out strong. >> we call it elite. you know, the world might have their questions about it but you know we never have any questions about it in our locker room. >> because eli has done that so many times this year was there ever any doubt in your mind? >> no doubt at all. no doubt when it comes to my team. i love our players here. we all fight to the end and we have no doubt about losing. >> what happened when ahmad was supposed to fall down and scored the torchdown on accident? >> he had to lay back and recline the seat and get in the end zone. >> what were you thinking when tom brady had to go on the field and had just under a min tout go. >> i knew we'd get pressure and the guys would drop back and i couldn't wait until the clock says zero. >> sometimes you're a perfect example wow say things happen for a reason in terms of the redskins and how that ended? >> no doubt. everything happens for a reason in people's lives. sometimes you got to come through adversity to get somewhere. the lord puts you through the fire so you come out perfect. >> he gets cut from the redskins, cut from the panthers two pretty bad teams and he gets

picked up by the giants and devon thomas wins a super bowl. >> and now he has a ring. incredible. how that happens so often with guys who get cut from the redskins. the only thing i have left to say about that game is it should have been us and the question in my mind is when will it be us? >> well, the question here is where is peyton manning going to end up? a lot of people still i know we don't believe it's going to happen. a lot of people still believe peyton manning could end up with the washington redskins. that's -- the next day we'll be monitoring. >> we don't want that. >> from indianapolis, jim vance, dan hellie. we'll see you again soon. >> heading home. jim, you heard it. jim vance just said dan snyder do not sign peyton manning. >> i love it. >> what did you think of madonna? >> i didn't watch the halftime show. >> ah. >> i didn't watch it. i was getting more food and

eating more pizza. >> i thought it was exciting. she always puts on a big show. i liked the halftime show. >> i saw some of the highlights of the halftime show. it looked interesting. >> aye. it was. it was a lot going on. >> thanks. not every day you get like 400 gladiators bringing you into a studio. coming up tonight on news 4 at 6:00 new developments in a two-year saga that captured national headlines. the husband of a missing utah woman found dead along with his two young sons and the victims of a murder-suicide. you see them around the house but this year there has been a dramatic drop in the stink bug population. researchers have a theory. and a game day gamble. the single play in the super bowl that earned someone $50,000 in vegas. that's next on news 4 at 6:00. i'll be joining doreen gentzler because vance is flying home. >> enroute. in theory. coming up on newt 4 at 5:00 after the break a new speed
