Thomas Biederman v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court affirmed Biederman's convictions and forty-year sentence for second-degree use of a weapon of mass destruction and attempted murder. It held that the convictions did not violate double jeopardy, that the trial court could find serious physical injury for violent-offender parole purposes, that restricting jurors from using notes was not structural or palpable error under the circumstances, and that the evidence supported denial of the directed-verdict motion. No separate opinions were filed.
