Love and Relationship Hugly

Love and Hugly welcomed their first year of school and were often seen walking with their teammates. By the spring of 2010, shortly before her murder, Love and Hugly had been dating for over two years. It was Hugly’s aggressive behavior, triggered by alcohol, which kept their relationship going and ending. ^[7] In 2009, Hugly attacked a teammate after hearing that he had kissed Love. Before the murder, Hugly sent Love text messages and threatening emails. ^[8]

Murder and arrest of a suspect

Around 2:15 am (EDT On May 3, 2010, police were called to Love’s 14th Street apartment in University Corner in Charlottesville. Love was found unanswered and declared dead at the scene. ^[9] Call 911 from Love’s roommate reported that Love suffered an alcohol overdose, but upon arrival the detectives noticed “obvious physical damage to her body.” ^[2] The suspect, George Hugley, lived next door. ^[10]

On May 4, Hugley was charged with Love’s murder and detained at Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Prison. ^[1] Appearing in court on May 6, Hugley’s attorney Fran Lawrence stated: “Ms. Love’s death was not intended, but an accident with a tragic result.” Hugly appeared at the hearing on video. ^[2]

Hugly and Love dated for two years but broke up. At the Charlottesville Police Station, Hugley gave up Miranda’s right and recounted graphic details of his attack on Love, stating that he kicked Love’s locked bedroom door and “shook Love and her head hit the wall repeatedly.”In addition, Hugley admitted that he took and intended to destroy her Apple laptop when he fled her apartment. ^[11] Evidence that police seized Hugeli’s apartment included two apple laptop computers, a spiral notepad, two white socks, bath and hallway rugs, and a red-spotted Virginia lacrosse shirt. Investigators also followed the example of domestic violence between Hugly and Love, including threatening emails and text messages that Hugly sent Love after the breakup; a violent encounter between a couple that was torn apart by several lacrosse guests from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and the incident in which Hughley attacked Love while drunk but did not remember how he hit her.An unnamed student reported that Hugly and Love broke up after a drunk Hugly attacked Love. ^[12]

Court proceedings

Hugley First Degree Murder Preliminary Hearing The charge was filed on April 11, 2011 in Charlottesville District Court. ^[13] Hugley continued to be held without bail at Charlottesville Regional Prison. On January 7, 2012, prosecutors added five additional charges: murder, home robbery, burglary, home entry with intent to commit a felony, and large-scale theft. ^[14] A grand jury indicted him on April 18, 2011 on charges of first degree murder and felony, and a trial date was set on February 6, 2012. ^[15]

Closing arguments were made on February 18th and jury deliberations began on Tuesday, February 22nd, following Presidents Day on Monday. After nine hours of deliberation, the jury issued a conviction of second-degree murder and large-scale embezzlement.After another two hours of discussion, the jury recommended sentencing to 26 years in prison: 25 years for second-degree murder and one year for large-scale theft. ^[16] The jury removed the “heat of passion” clause characterizing premeditated murder. Several jurors who spoke to the media noted the importance of Hugley’s police interrogation videotape, which was a central part of Attorney Dave Chapman’s case: the jury found that “on virtually every opportunity he had, he lied first.told lies several times. “

On May 8, 2012, non-jurors were able to see George Hugley for the first time in a 64-minute video in which he was told of Yerdley Love’s death. When questioned by the police, Hugley admitted: grab her by the neck “and” maybe I shook her a little. ” Hugly reacts incredulously and says, “Kill me.”Due to the gross emotions seen in this tape, the jury was convinced that Love’s killing was not deliberate. ^[17]

Conviction and Sentence

On August 30, 2012, Judge Edward Hogshire formally sentenced Hughley to 23 years in prison, with a concurrent conviction of 23 years for second degree murder and one year for grand theft. ^[18]

Appeal

The Virginia Court of Appeals ruled on April 23, 2013, whereby Hugley granted an appeal on two key issues. ^[19] The court agreed with the defense’s argument that Hugley’s right to a lawyer was violated when one of his lawyers, Rhonda Quagliana, fell ill and missed the day of the trial. The court also granted the appeal on the grounds that it was impossible to exclude “32 jurors” due to possible doubts about the impartiality of this juror. The Court of Appeal then heard oral arguments from Hugley’s new attorney: Paul Clement (former US Solicitor General) on December 11, 2013.Clement argued for a new trial, arguing that Hugley was denied his right to a lawyer when one of his two lawyers fell ill during his trial. Nine days after the start of the trial, Hugley’s assistant lawyer Quallian clearly fell ill with stomach flu, but the judge refused to extend the trial, although Hugley objected: the second lawyer, Francis Lawrence, was asked by the trial judge if he could continue the case without Qualliana. and said he could. In addition to questions about the “32 juror,” Hugley’s appeals team also objected to the trial judge’s refusal to allow the jury to “blame the victim” and said that the jury had not been properly instructed on the definition of “malice,” an element of the second-degree murder charge.On March 4, 2014, the Court of Appeal ruled against Hugly, upholding the conviction of second-degree murder. ^[20] In November 2014, the Virginia Supreme Court refused to hear Hugley’s appeal. ^[21]

More than four years after Hugeli was sent to prison, his mother Martha Murphy has spoken out. Murphy said her son should have been convicted of a lesser charge and faced a lesser jail sentence as the murder was “an accident while intoxicated.”Murphy concluded that Hugly had no intention of killing Love and that Love’s death was caused by injuries sustained from falling out of bed. Martha Murphy was waiting to show her respect for the Love family. Murphy believes the criminal justice system was flawed and failed to deliver a verdict against her son. ^[22]

Huguely in Prison

In late September 2012, Huguely was transferred from Albemarle Regional Prison in Charlottesville to the Powhatan Reception and Classification Center.On October 15, he was sent to the Keane Mountain Correctional Center, a maximum security state prison in the far southwest corner of Virginia: Keane is a Level 4 facility in the Virginia 6-Level Prison Security Assessment System. A Department of Corrections spokesman said Hugley must serve at least a year of his 23-year sentence without serious misconduct before the state considers transferring him to the Maryland prison system (where he could be closer to his parents’ home in Bethesda, Maryland ). ^[23] In early November 2013, Hugeli was transferred from Keane Mountain Correctional Center to River North Correctional Center in Independence, Virginia. River North Facility opened in October 2013 and is a Level 4 facility for long-term prisoners. ^[24] As of December 2016 ^[Update] He is being held at the Augusta Correctional Center in Craigsville, Virginia. Hugly is currently held on a state farm (part of the Powhatan reception center).The date of his release is May 30, 2030, when he turns 42. ^[25]

Civil Wrongful Death Claims

On April 26, 2012, Sharon Love filed a wrongful death lawsuit against George Hugley V, claiming $ 29.45 million in damages and $ 1 million in penalties. ^[26] On May 1, 2012, she filed a wrongful death lawsuit for $ 29.45 million against UVA, the head coach of men’s lacrosse.Dom Starsia, Assistant Head Coach Mark Van Arsdale and UVA Athletics Director Craig Littlepagejoy gross negligence on the part of the coaching staff. The lawsuit argued that “UVA men’s and women’s lacrosse players and coaches were well aware that Hugly’s alcohol abuse and erratic aggressive behavior was becoming increasingly out of control, especially his obsession with Love and his aggressiveness and threats to love. “And that no action was taken notwithstanding” to punish Hugly, suspend or remove Hugly from the lacrosse team, refer Hugly for treatment or counseling on alcohol / substance abuse or anger / aggressive behavior management, or follow up Potential Risk of Hugly Violence in accordance with UVA’s Threats or Acts of Violence Policy. ^{[27] [28]}

The Love family dropped the lawsuit against the university and its coaches on July 23, 2013 without explanation. The lawsuit for the wrongful death of George Hugley was due to go to court on September 29, 2014. ^{[29] [30]} but after several delays was postponed to the date of the trial on July 30, 2018; Ultimately, shortly before the due date of the trial, the civil action was dropped (dismissed without prejudice) by the Love family on June 11, 2018. ^{[31] [32]}

Consequences

“I hope for Yerdley and you,” said the President of the University of Virginia. John Castin at the candlelight vigil May 6, 2010, ^[33] “is that her death provokes anger, a feeling of resentment that engenders determination here and wherever Yerdley’s name is recognized that no woman, no the person in this place, in this community, in this state, in our country does not need either fear for its safety or experience violence.for any reason. “ ^[33] A funeral mass in honor of love was held at the Cathedral of Our Queen Mary on May 8 with an attendance of about 2,000. ^[34]

On May 10, UVA Women’s Lacrosse Coach Julie Myers explained that the team was planning continue their role in the NCAA tournament: “Let’s do it the way the Yards would like us to do it.” ^[35] In their tournaments, the men’s team advanced to the semi-finals and the women’s team to the quarter-finals.

Foundation One Love Foundation

Love wore jersey number 1 when playing lacrosse at the University of Virginia and the team removed her number.A few months after her murder, her family established the One Love Foundation to raise awareness of domestic violence, especially relationship violence. ^[36]

Currently, the One Love Foundation has trained nearly 1 million young people in signs of unhealthy relationships and ways to love healthy. The One Love Foundation’s goal is to improve next-generation relationships. The One Love Foundation combines feature films with peer discussions to educate young people about the signs of unhealthy and healthy relationships.By the end of March 2020, One Love will unveil its online platform that helps people learn about the warning signs of relationship violence. The One Love Foundation works with schools and communities across the United States and they look forward to expanding their program to educate more young people. ^[37]

In 2014, the One Love Foundation showed its film Escalation to Jacksonville University baseball and lacrosse players.After watching this short film, Jacksonville University athletic students consulted. Since then, many other universities and colleges have required their athlete students to take this workshop, which includes a film screening and discussion. The One Love Foundation plans to expand its activities to more colleges across the country to make its relationship violence workshops compulsory for all student athletes. ^[38] Since 2016, One Love Foundation is also an NFL partner.

Toronto Rock vs Rochester Knighthawks)

On Friday, April 3rd, there was a day off here. On this occasion, as well as on another significant occasion, it was decided to go to the local exotic in the form of a lacrosse match.

Pair of photos for seeding:

I’ll make a reservation right away that all photos were taken according to the rules, i.e.It was allowed to take pictures with a non-professional camera. It was forbidden to write a video, so I will not offer a video.

We arrived 10 minutes before the start and, in general, very on time, because the hall was only half full. The lower stands were completely filled only after about half an hour from our arrival, when the teams played 5 minutes of the match)))

Then I caught only funny moments.

The kid is clearly pleased! 🙂 We were also pleased with the performance!
Oh yeah, I forgot to name the final score: Toronto (7) – Rochester (11).

Oliver Morgan seemed engrossed in his conversation with the Earl of Windham.Father was dressed in a burgundy velvet suit, with the finest Brabant lace at the collar and on the cuffs of the sleeves. The costume went very well with the noble features of his face and gray hair.

– And here is my daughter! You know, honey; the Earl of Windham is as well versed in Pythagorean theories as your husband.

Octavia walked over to them, hoping her smile wouldn’t sound unnatural.

– Dad, do you entertain guests? It doesn’t sound like you.

– When there are no real owners, you have to fulfill their duties.Oliver Morgan’s lips curled into an ironic smile. – So I decided to take your place, daughter. Your husband has already told us about your adventure.

– Yes? Octavia shot Rupert a surprised look.

“About robbers, madam,” he explained abruptly. – About how we were stopped in the Hampstead Wasteland, where we went for a walk.

“Oh yes, Hampstead Wasteland …” she repeated, barely audible. – I was terribly scared. It’s good that Rupert had pistols and he managed to grab them.There were five of them, no less.

“Honey, you’re exaggerating,” Rupert said again. – I’m sure no more than three.

– You can be congratulated on your happy deliverance, madam, – came a voice from the card tables. – Robbers and robbers have become just God’s punishment for these places.

“Until they are all hanged in Tyburn,” another added, “the roads simply cannot be driven.

“Lady Warwick should be commended for her courage,” the Earl of Windham said quietly.“After such an adventure, most ladies would spend a week in bed, and she is with us and, as always, dazzling.

– Well, sir, I am better equipped. But I must admit that I was terribly hungry. Because of these horrors, I missed lunch.

She called the butler:

– Order to cover. We won’t wait eleven o’clock.

– And I, if you will allow me, will leave you, – Oliver Morgan rejoiced and, bowing to the guests, went to the door. – I have a lot to read.

Octavia walked him to the door:

– Thank you Dad for taking the hit.

– Not at all, daughter. To tell the truth, I even liked it all. Surprisingly. – And, grinning, he added:

– But you and Warwick have to be careful.

Octavia stared at her father. Did he mean the burglars story? Or were Rigby and Lacrosse here?

– Dad, have other guests come before us?

– It seems not.Oliver shook his head. – Unless they saw that the mistress was not at home, and left before I went downstairs.

It did not occur to Octavia that her father might lie to her, and she calmed down:

– Good night, dad.

She kissed him and the old scientist went out. Octavia looked quickly at her husband. Maybe he found out if Rigby and Lacrosse had come. Rupert shook his head almost imperceptibly and immediately plunged into the game.

Octavia went to the Earl of Windham.She paused as she passed Lawton. The viscount was so enthusiastic about which tongue would appear before the flame first – orange or blue – and was staring so intently at the fire that he did not notice the hostess. As Octavia moved on, the viscount’s lorgnette was clutched in her fist.

– Earl of Wyndham, would you like to argue how the flame will behave? She leaned on the marble top of the table. Then she went even closer to Philip. Lornette remained on the marble.

– Lawton is willing to bet anything.That’s at least how fast a raindrop will run off the window pane, ”Philip shook his head.

“He’s not alone,” Octavia objected. – About a man, if he does not throw himself into an argument over every trifle, they often say that he is indecisive. Octavia smiled conspiratorially. “It’s so nice that at least at least you don’t follow any socially accepted stupidity.

Octavia’s hand touched his arm, and his face was so close that the count could inhale the scent of her hair and body.

– Only a very wise and brave person can behave this way.

Truly she is unlike anyone else, thought the count. Even with such graceful coquetry I have never encountered. Natural in spontaneity, promises do not rush desire. To his surprise, Philip found himself ready to play by her rules. If any other woman had delayed the decisive denouement like Octavia Warwick, he would have taken her by force or abandoned her. But she enchanted him, enveloped him in captivating threads of smiles and kisses, while melting passion deep inside.

Philip looked across the living room at Octavia’s husband, his expression unreadable. Coldness emanated from this man, and the strange smile with which he often turned to Philip evoked disgust mixed with fear: it seemed that there was poison in it. Earl Wyndham came to this house only for the sake of Octavia. The thought of impending pleasure reconciled him with the need to be in the company of a man whom he hated and even feared.

Octavia smiled, and her hand was lightly stroking the floor of her coat.Philip felt the excitement. He looked down at her: her handsome face shone with golden, tiger-like eyes.

– I ask for dinner. Octavia noticed that Griffin was waiting expectantly in the doorway. “I’m hungry, my lord. Would you deign to see me off?

– With joy, madam. Philip offered her hand with a bow.

They set off for the door, and the count’s embroidered silk handkerchief was left on the floor. As they passed the table, a golden sovereign clanged softly against the marble lid.

Chapter 14

Located in the suburbs of London on the south bank of the Thames, the warehouse was a squat red brick building. The windows and doors were blocked by massive bars. The river wave licked the base of the wall, and a green fringe of silt appeared on the masonry.

A hired carriage pulled up to the barred doors in the backyard, and two men got out. The driver frowned at them:

– Would you like me to wait for you, gentlemen? Dirk Rigby wrinkled his nose from the unbearable stench of rotting algae, fish and cesspools.Hector Lacrosse fiddled nervously at the dazzling white folds of his neckerchief. Such a place for meeting business people seemed strange to them.

“Wait,” Hector said shortly.

– But only for the fact that they drove, money in advance! – shouted the carter in the back, heading for the door of the riders. – So, just in case. And he wiped his sweaty face with a white red-dotted handkerchief.

– Don’t be silly, – Dirk cut him off. “We’ll go on business, and you’ll wait as long as necessary,” announcing this, he knocked on the door with the silver head of his cane.

The driver sat down on a bench. He knew this type of riders very well – they wanted to be waited for half a day, losing their earnings, and then he would be lucky if you beg for an extra shilling.

The unlubricated door hinges creaked in protest, and the massive door slid open. There was a black void behind it. A hunched-over old man with a tallow candle trembling in the draft appeared on the threshold. He was dressed in a shabby black frock coat with greasy stains on his lapels. On his head is a tattered wig.

– Is that you? He croaked. – You’re late. The owner didn’t want to wait for you. – The old man glared at the carriage standing at the entrance. – Better let him wait. Carriages do not come here often, and you will hardly want to walk along our streets. Not too nice, gentlemen. – Having croaked it, the old man dived into the depths of the warehouse.

Dirk and Hector followed him. Suddenly the candle flashed and went out, and all three were in complete darkness.

– What the hell is this joke ?! Shouted Hector Lacrosse, trying to hide his fear.

“Draft … just a draft,” the old man muttered. You could hear him rummaging in his pocket. The armchair struck, the firefly of the wick glowed, and the candle again flooded everything around with an even light.

They found themselves in a spacious room, so large that the ceiling disappeared into darkness. In the dim yellowish light, some bales loomed along the walls, but Dirk and Rigby could not determine what was stored there. The air was thick with dust and trash.

“There is simply nothing to breathe here,” Hector noticed to his companion, while the escort was heading towards a spiral metal staircase nestled at the wall overlooking the river.”Do you think Warwick meant this place?”

“They were expecting us,” Dirk reminded, although, like his friend, he already doubted whether it was worth going here at all. They came to discuss a not entirely legitimate venture that promised substantial profits. But the disgusting, frightening environment was not conducive to frankness.

The spiral staircase climbed higher and higher, and the companions followed the ghostly candlelight, from which huge ugly shadows danced on the wall.Suddenly the steps ended with a wooden platform; underfoot were boards with uneven edges, between which cracks gaped treacherously.

– Well, gentlemen. The conductor knocked on the door, put his ear to the oak panel, nodded in satisfaction and raised the latch. “The people you’ve been waiting for, master. Here they are.

– So lead them, lazy blockhead!

The invitation sounded quite loud, if not harsh. Rigby and Lacrosse followed the old man with the candle to a square room, lit by an oil lamp and a crackling hearth in the corner.

A tall gray-haired man rose from behind a desk near the wall and began to examine them.

– Come on, gentlemen, come in. – The voice cracked, as if the owner had a sore throat. A scarf is wound around the neck. The shirt was stale, and the brown frock coat was stained from many meals. On hands – gloves without fingers. A frayed dark ribbon ties the braid at the back of the head.

The “master,” as the old man called him, did not look like a man who could guarantee an income of twenty thousand guineas from an invested ten.

“Ned, bring some wine,” he ordered. – Let’s drink to our enterprise, gentlemen. Make yourself comfortable. Sit by the fire. On the street, though the sun, even rain, inside it is always insanely cold. The dampness from the river soaked the walls.

He took a step towards him, a hand raised in a semblance of a greeting gesture. From top to bottom, a jagged scar crossed his cheek, and from this, an eerie grimace froze on his face, which became even more terrible when he laughed, like now, when he looked at their faces.

– Not quite what you expected, gentlemen? I’ll tell you what, don’t draw attention to yourself.Better, gentlemen, that we are not easy to find. He exchanged a surprisingly energetic handshake with each of them. – To the fire, to the fire! Ned, where is the wine?

The profit seekers settled down by the fireplace.

– Well, that’s nice. – The owner rubbed his hands. From a dusty bottle, he poured wine into glasses and sniffed the neck. – Passable … I think it will seem quite decent to you.

– Thank you, – Dirk answered for two. He had nothing against wine, but the glass was cloudy with dust and dirt.

– Lord Rupert told us …

“No names, gentlemen,” the owner waved his hands in mock horror.- In our business, we do not name names. I sacredly respect depositors’ incognito, and they – mine.

“But we both know Lord Rupert,” Dirk insisted. – What is the point of arguing that this is not so?

– Maybe not … Maybe not. – The owner pulled up a chair and sat down next to him. The voice was suddenly harsh and demanding. “I suppose you would like to make a small contribution to the project we are doing at Clapham?”

– If we are satisfied with the conditions.

– And what kind of conditions would suit you, sir? The owner leaned back in his chair and stared inquisitively at Rigby.- One hundred percent profit? Two hundred? Or five hundred?

– Can you guarantee it? Rigby’s breath caught in her throat, a greedy gleam in his eyes.

– Probably … probably … – The owner got up and walked to a dilapidated cabinet in the far corner, rummaged for a minute and returned with parchment. – I’ll show you now. Here, sir, hold on to this end. The two of them unrolled the parchment that showed the plan of the house. – We build such houses. Three of them are already ready and awaiting check-in. The owners do not want to move.He grunted loudly. – And these three still need to be completed. This is where investment is required. He pointed to the three blueprints in the right corner of the parchment. – What do you say to that?

“Nothing,” Hector said. – Where will the profit come from?

– Ah … This is what interests you … Made of bricks and mortar. The owner traced the plan with his forefinger. – Bricks, mortar and other materials. People demand only the best because they want their house to be better than their neighbor’s.

He laughed, but there was a hidden threat in the laugh.

– We promise them only the best. And outside they get it. They are satisfied, their neighbors are satisfied. But this is only on the outside. But inside … But inside – that’s another story. – He scrapped the plan. “Oak floors are very expensive, gentlemen. But oak veneering on natural pine costs almost nothing. Can you really tell one from the other, especially if the floors are well rubbed? For at least a few months.

– Are these houses a reliable business? Hector asked.

“As reliable as a house of cards,” the strange owner shrugged.

– And can you guarantee us a profit? – Dirk sipped his wine.

– As reliable as the houses themselves, excuse the unfortunate pun. He laughed merrily and leaned back in his chair again. “But to be serious, gentlemen, I already have buyers for these houses. they just throw themselves at them. These and others.You are investing now, and I guarantee that in six months your capital will triple.

Hector’s tongue stuck to the sky, but still he managed to pronounce:

– How much do you want as an initial investment?

– Ten thousand in cash, gentlemen.

– What about our guarantees?

– We will sign the documents by rank by rank. – The owner got up again. – I want to crawl you a sample of contracts with signatures and seals of solicitors. I have many contributors, gentlemen.All people are very worthy. He went back to the closet and opened the folder. – Take a look here.

Companions scanned a stack of business papers.

Is that your name? – Hector showed the signature that was found on every contract. – Tadeusz Nilsson?

– Yes, it’s me, – the owner nodded, folding his hands on his fat belly. – Tadeusz Nilsson is a contractor for the construction of luxury homes for wealthy merchants. As elegant as Grosvenor Square or Mount Street.

– Do you pay dividends every quarter?

– Exactly as it says here, gentlemen.The members of the committee of our small enterprise are very wealthy people. For example, banker Moran, chief judge. He bent down to show the names. – Committee meetings are held every month. Of course, you are welcome too.

Tadeusz took out a clay pipe from his waistcoat pocket, filled it with tobacco, thrust a sliver into the candle flame and lit it.

Bluish smoke billowed through the humid air.

– Although most of our depositors prefer to stay away, – he thoughtfully issued a gray ring, – they usually make an exception for committee meetings.And we are trying to limit the number of depositors to a minimum. Thus, more income is obtained.

– I completely agree with you. – Dirk looked down at his shining shoes. The silver clasps seemed to wink at him in the semi-darkness. Rupert Warwick vouched for Thaddeus Nilsson. Warwick himself lives very widely. Only yesterday they saw how, just for fun, he poured a handful of guineas into Margaret Drayton’s wallet. And of course, such businesses can only thrive in the shadows.

He thought for a minute:

– We ourselves need to look at these houses.

– For God’s sake. Go to Arklane. You should definitely watch them. Is it possible to buy a pig in a poke? – Thaddeus smiled, the scar on his cheek became more pronounced, and he released a new ring of gray smoke.

– We will let you know about our decision after we look at the houses. – Dirk looked with his eyes, where to put the empty glass, and did not find anything better than the floor.

– Think it over. – Tadeusz puffed on his pipe and did not even try to get up. – Ned, show the guests.And stay downstairs – we’ll have more visitors.

– Potential contributors? – worried Hector. Thaddeus shrugged his shoulders:

– Nothing limits me. You need to catch your luck. You care about your own benefit, I care about mine.

The guests hesitated for another minute. Dirk was about to say something, but Hector touched his arm and nodded eloquently at the door, and, accompanied by Ned shuffling his feet, both left the room.

The man they were visiting listened to the creak of the front door and stood up with a lazy smile.He tapped his pipe on the edge of the fireplace and shook out the unburned tobacco. Then he reached under his waistcoat and pulled out a small pillow.

“A couple of fools,” he announced, returning to the room.

His back straightened, his eyes shone with an alert shine – from a decrepit old man in one second he turned into a strong middle-aged man.

– Greedy fools, Ben. Bring me hot water and a towel. Rupert bent over an old, cracked mirror and touched a purple-blue scar with his finger.- It worked well. How do you think?

– Yes. Ben removed the kettle from the fireplace and poured the boiling water into a small bowl. – Let me.

– I can handle it myself. Rupert dipped a towel into the water and rubbed off the scar he had drawn.

– Do you think they’ll come back? Ben picked up the glasses from the floor.

– Come back. And before it gets dark. I think I scared them a lot when I said about competitors who literally graze at our doorstep. So stay here and listen to them when they show up.Make an appointment for Friday night. Please let us know that there will be a committee meeting that day, so they will have the opportunity to meet with the rest of the members just as we discuss matters.

– Who will play the roles of committee members? – Ben stirred up the coals in the fireplace so that they burned out faster.

“Old Fred Grimford and Terence Shotley,” Rupert chuckled. – They will love the show.

Ben laughed. Many people gathered in the “Royal Oak”, even accustomed to not such performances.

– Then I’ll stay here for a while.

– Thank you. Rupert took off his worn white braided wig and smoothed his hair, kicked off his stained suit and put on his usual clothes. “I’ll probably put on a different outfit for a committee meeting. Let them see that I can look decent.

“But today you seemed like a real villain,” Ben remarked, picking up his clothes. “One scar can scare you to death.

– Our friends wanted to see the villain, and we had to provide him to them.I’m sure they would never have believed in the authenticity of the devil’s plan with the houses if it had been presented by a person who, from their point of view, was decently dressed. Scammers and extortionists cannot be like them. His voice rang out with sarcasm.

– If you say that, you probably are. Rupert said nothing. Taking one last look at himself in the mirror, he put on his hat and took an elegant cane. I pressed a clever button on the knob, and a terrible blade jumped out from within.

– Are you expecting trouble? Ben asked shortly.

– You have to be on your guard all the time in the local area. He pressed the button again, and the blade disappeared into the cane. – I’m late, and today is court day. If I don’t have time to accompany Octavia, she will cut off my ears and feed the crows.

– Doesn’t look like you. Nick, ”Ben grumbled as he walked down the stairs with him. – How can you allow a woman to rule?

Rupert smiled:

– To rule? I would not put it this way. She does not rule, does not insist on her own.She simply does not pay attention to the disputing party if it is uncomfortable for her.

– By the challenger you mean yourself?

Referees, also called sports officials, are responsible for ensuring fair and equitable enforcement of the rules of the game and for the safety of players. Most competitive sports, including soccer, tennis, swimming, and soccer, use referees (in baseball, they are called referees).Sports officials go through official training and examinations to get certified. Depending on the certification level, they can judge recreational, school, student and even professional games.

Steps

Part One of 3: Understanding Your Sport

1. 
   
   One Know what sport you want to judge. Each sport has its own rules and procedures, and you need to be certified as a referee for that particular sport.If you are unsure what sport you want to judge, some things to consider may include:
   • What sport do you like best?
   • What kind of sport are you most familiar with?
   • What refereeing opportunities are available in your area?
   • Do you have friends / family / children who play sports that you can judge?
   
   
   
2. 
   
   2 Visit games. The best way to experience sports is to visit the games. For example, if you want to become a baseball referee, then attend baseball games. Observe how the game is played, what signals and procedures are used by the referees, how calls are made and how disputes are resolved. Attending the games is also a good way to get to know the sporting opportunities in your area and meet other judges.
3. 
   
   3 Find your local sports association or association of sports officials. To become a referee, you must be certified by an appropriate sports association, such as the American Youth Football Organization, the United States Rugby League, or the high school state association. If you are unsure which association certifies referees in a sport of interest (or how to contact one), visit the games and ask the coaches or referees.
   • Some sports associations have regional representatives who can assist you in the process of becoming a referee.
4. 
   
   4 Be open-minded about becoming a referee. Many people can be judges; you don’t have to be perfect or even great in your sport. There may be some great, unfilled judging opportunities in your area, or ways you can help your community by judging.
   • For example, a youth soccer league in your area may need a referee. Even if you are not an outstanding player or have no previous refereeing experience, you can learn to become a referee and change people’s lives for the better.

Part 2 of 3: Obtain certification

1. 
   
   one Be at least the minimum age if necessary. Some sports associations require you to be over the minimum age (for example, 21) in order to be certified as a judge. If you are under this minimum age, you can still find out everything there is to know about judging in your chosen sport while you wait.
2. 
   
   2 Meet physical requirements. To be a judge in many sports, you must have normal vision, hearing and mobility. Some certification processes also include physical fitness tests, so you should start training even before you expect to get certified.
3. 
   
   3 Take the training course. Sports associations generally expect referees to attend an officially sanctioned training program before receiving certification. These regularly offered courses can be as long as a few hours or be more extensive.There is usually a fee to complete the course. You may be assigned books, websites, practice tests, or other materials to help you learn the rules and regulations of your sport. Courses usually include information such as:
   • Beep
   • Correct Use of Game Time
   • Positioning
   • Arbitration Violations
   • Specific Problems depending on whether you are judging children or adults
4. 
   
   4 Visit the Rules Consultation. Rule Clinics is an opportunity to learn about the current rules of the game, safety rules, and issues related to your sport. The sporting associations will post schedules of regular training according to the rules. In some cases, consultations on the rules are carried out in the form of face-to-face meetings, in others – online.
   • In many cases, you will need to visit the rules clinic regularly (for example, once a year or every two years) even after you become a judge.
5. 
   
   5 Take the certification test. The exam is usually the final part of the Judge Training Course. In some cases, you will need to periodically re-qualify as a judge by taking an updated exam. Typically tests will cover questions such as:
   • Your Sport Rules
   • Fitness Examination
   • A practical assessment in which you demonstrate your ability to make audio calls
6. 
   
   6 Perform a background check if necessary. The referee certification process for some sports associations will include background checks and / or fingerprinting. This is especially true if the judicial position will involve working with children. Your sports association and training program will explain this requirement and explain how to fulfill it.
7. 
   
   7 If necessary, fill in the card. Many sports associations require you to pay a referee license fee. The fee can cover either the cost of membership in the association, or the fee of a particular judge.The amount of the contribution will vary depending on the sport you are interested in.

Part 3 of 3: Successful Referee

1. 
   
   One Purchase the appropriate equipment. To actually act as a referee in a game, you need some equipment. As a referee, you must wear a uniform that complies with the rules of your sports association. In addition, you may need other items related to your sport, including:
   • Flags
   • Postcards
   • Whistle
   • Approved Hours
2. 
   
   2 Understand the job of a referee. The referee is expected to be present and observe the games, to ensure that players comply with the rules and treat each other fairly and resolve any disputes that may arise. Referees can go beyond these basics:
   • Modeling fair and honest behavior, especially for youth
   • Maintaining records of all referee games
   • Refereeing tournaments in addition to regular games
   • Reports to the sports association as required
3. 
   
   3 Re-qualify. Since the rules and regulations of safety in sports can change over time, it is recommended for judges to take refresher courses. Many sports associations will require regular re-certification if you want to continue as a judge.
4. 
   
   4 Complete additional certifications to advance as a judge. In many sports, having worked as a judge for a while can help you rise to a higher level. This can mean having responsibility for supervising other referees, being able to referee non-local games, and other services.
   • To get ahead, you usually have to judge a certain number of games, attend the regular rules of the game, and take additional certification tests. Specific requirements may vary depending on your sport.
