Note to anybody who lives in North Carolina who might want to have an affair with a married man or woman – DON”T DO IT unless you are prepared to give your life savings to the injured spouse.  A News & Record story starts:  “A jury in Guilford County District Court this week awarded $9 million to a former Greensboro woman, agreeing that her husband’s lover ruined their marriage [by having an affair with Anne Lundquist]. . . . . The jury awarded Cynthia Shackelford money for alienation of affections, criminal conversation (legal speak for adultery) and intentionally or recklessly causing severe emotional distress.”  See “Ex-dean to appeal verdict on affair.”
