MONTROSS, Va. (AP) — A jury has ordered a Northern Neck restaurant owner to pay $8 million to the two daughters of his wife, who froze to death on their property in 2010.

According to media outlets, the jury deliberated just more than two hours Thursday before returning a verdict against Stephen Andersen, 62. Defense attorney John P. Harris III said he will appeal.
