The brutality with which murder suspect George Huguely V allegedly hit his ex-girlfriend before she died was revealed Tuesday when two medical examiners testified in the Charlottesville, Virginia courtroom.

The autopsy results showed that 22-year-old lacrosse player Yeardley Love had severe bruising in her brain caused by the “sheer force” of the attack, reported the Washington Post.

As Breaking Celebrity News previously reported, University of Virginia senior Huguely is currently on trial for first degree murder in the May 2010 death of fellow student Love, after he allegedly broke down her bedroom door, beat her and banged her head against a wall upon discovering that she had cheated on him.

During Tuesday's four hours of complicated medical testimony, coroners also presented autopsy photos and medical diagrams, and explained that the hemorrhaging of the brain could not likely have been caused by rescue workers like Huguely's defense attorney had implied.

Huguely, 24, of Chevy Chase, Maryland, has pleaded not guilty to murder and five other charges, and his lawyers are calling Love's death a "tragic accident."

He claims he shook her “a little bit” and “may have grabbed her a little bit around the neck,” but did not strangle her or hit her in the face, and didn't think she was badly hurt when he left after the altercation.

However, Love died from blunt force trauma
