Man Sentenced On Attempted Murder

{Ashland, Kentucky}…Friday, 52 year old Thomas K. Biederman of Russell was sentenced to 40 years in prison after being convicted last month of attempted murder and using a weapon of mass destruction. A bomb detonated in a parking garage in Ashland on July 28, 2011, after Biederman’s wife, Janie Biederman, touched the vehicle's brake pedal. She suffered burns to her arms and legs. Biederman maintained his innocence, but prosecutors argued he had the motive of a $430,000 life insurance policy and the opportunity.
