he went to Love's apartment to talk about their sputtering, two-year relationship and she "freaked out" when he broke into her room. Their encounter quickly turned physical, with Huguely admitting he may have shaken her but insisting he didn't grab her neck or punch her.

And SHE's the one who repeatedly banged her head on the wall? Well, was that before, after, or DURING the time in which Huguely "may have" shaken her?
