Powell County Man Learns His Fate

A judge sentences a man who doused his step-daughter with gasoline and set her on fire.

Gordon Strange will spend the next 25-years in prison.

The Powell County man was convicted of first degree assault and 2nd degree arson.

Michele Tharp survived that attack back in February of last year. She says, now, she can finally move on with her life.

Tharp suffered burns on more than half of her body.
