Woman to appeal $9M judgment in NC affair case
GREENSBORO, N.C. — A New York woman ordered to pay $9 million to her lover’s wife in North Carolina says she plans to appeal the judgment.
The News & Record of Greensboro reports that 49-year-old Anne Lundquist of Aurora, N.Y., didn’t attend the two-day trial in Greensboro earlier this week and wasn’t represented by an attorney.
Lundquist says she had planned to represent herself, but the court didn’t give enough warning about the case going to trial.
A jury this week awarded 60-year-old Cynthia Shackelford money for alienation of affection and other charges. North Carolina is one of a handful of states that allows jilted spouses to sue over affairs.
