CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Jurors will begin deliberations in the trial of a former University of Virginia lacrosse player who's charged with killing his ex-girlfriend in a drunken rage.

After a three-day break, jurors in the trial of George Huguely V are to begin deliberating charges Wednesday that the 24-year-old Chevy Chase, Md., man killed Yeardley Love in a final encounter with his on-again, off-again girlfriend. The 22-year-old suburban Baltimore woman was found dead in her apartment on May 3, 2010.

Huguely acknowledges he kicked a hole in the door to Love's bedroom but insists he only wanted to talk. Medical experts testified to several possible causes for Love's death from blunt trauma injuries.

Huguely faces up to life in prison if convicted of the most serious murder charge.
