KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) -- A jury has awarded more than $124 million to the daughter of a former University of Pennsylvania professor who was convicted of killing his wife.

In 2006, Rafael Robb bludgeoned to death his estranged wife, Ellen Gregory Robb in their King of Prussia home.

Their daughter, Olivia - who was 12 at the time - testified against her father.

She, and her family, sought the millions of dollars that relatives believe Rafael Robb has invested.

Instead of facing trial for murder, in November 2007 Robb pleaded guilty to manslaughter and was sentenced to 5-10 years in prison.
