carried when he shared the uva lacrosse field with love. love's mother softly cried as she watched. the entire love family is wearing pink scarfs in her memory. it took four hours for attorneys just to ask three jurors if they had heard about the case and had made up their minds. it has been nearly two years since a roommate found love in her off campus apartment clad only in her panties face down on her pillow in a pool of blood. george huguely, v, scion of a wealthy old chevy chase family later admitted to detectives that morning that he had kicked down his ex-girl friend's door and beat her head against the wall until blood flowed from her nose, but huguely's high powered charlottesville lawyers insist it was an accident with a tragic outcome. their medical expert has hinted that love died not in the attack, but from a seizure

brought on by a fatal combination of adderall and alcohol. the horrible bruising on her body, that they've suggested was caused by paramedics trying to resuscitate her. the judge was hoping to seat a jury today by the end of tomorrow here at this courthouse, but at the pace things are going today that seems terribly optimistic. lesli? >> hey, bruce, all the talk around here has been the people who allegedly knew about huguely's sort of drunken outbursts of before and even some alleged threats toward love. has anything come of that? >> reporter: well, a couple things really have come of that. uva has begun this kind of intensive training program for students, for faculty and staff where they are supposed to recognize and figure out how to react when they suspect somebody else is being abused or suffering from alcohol or

from mental illness and virginia, the commonwealth, has actually responded by expanding laws, so it is easier now for people who are in an abusive relationship but not living together, easier for them to get restraining orders, so there are a couple of good things that perhaps came out of this tragedy. >> we'll be seeing more of you for sure. did you know it's a crime in virginia if your child is repeatedly late to school? a loudon county mother faces that possibility and another couple could face a hefty fine after a judge today ordered them to stand trial for their children's chronic tardiness. peggy fox joins us live from leesburg to explain. peggy? >> reporter: well, a few weeks ago a sheriff's deputy knocked on the door of mark and amy denicorr in waterford, handed them a summons to appear in court for a class 3 misdemeanor. this morning they were here answering that charge, all because their children have been late to school.

>> every parent knows how tough it can be to get their children to school on time, but should they be summoned to court when kids are tardy? >> the issue that we have is making it criminal. >> reporter: mark and his wife were both charged with a class 3 misdemeanor for their children's excessive tardiness at loudoun county's waterford elementary school. the parents could face a $3,000 fine. >> i don't think it's appropriate for the county to basically make up laws and then try to enforce them in order to intimidate or bully parents into compliance. >> when the bell rings, people are in their desks ready to work. so if you're coming in at the bell, you're disrupting the day that's already begun. >> reporter: club school spokesman wade baird says tardiness sun fair to other students and they first -- is unfair to other students and they first try to work with the parents. >> the last thing we want to do is punish children.

we want to work out with the parent how can we alleviate this problem because obviously if you're late 30 times in half a year, that's a problem. >> reporter: the denicorr children have been tardy 30 times so far this year. last year one was tardy 68 times and ab 7015, but mark, a lawyer -- absent 15, but mark, a lawyer, says the statute doesn't apply to them for tardiness. >> the statute is for truancy and kids skipping out of school without their parents' knowledge and that's not our situation. we're trying to get them to school. they're in our car. >> reporter: now they've got a trial coming up next month. i'm peggy fox, back to you from leesburg. prince george's county police announced the third and perhaps most important arrest today connected to the murder of an alexandria activist. the suspect identified as 26- year-old tyrone lewis and police say he is the man who
