The Fairfield man who murdered his wife and buried her in a shallow grave with a potato chip bag, his wedding ring, flowers, love notes and a bottle of mens cologne called Guilty was sentenced Friday to 55 years in prison.
It is insulting that you said you lied to protect victims family. You lied for one reason only, to protect Luc Tieman, Superior Court Justice Robert Mullen said in imposing the sentence at the Somerset County Courthouse.
Mullen called Tiemans testimony at trial poppycock and said he was disgusted by the web of lies the defendant wove to cover up his crime.

Tieman finally showed emotion in the courtroom Friday, his eyes red, wiping tears away as Allen Harmon, Valerie Tiemans father, thanked him for his military service, adding that he couldnt hate him. Harmon told Tieman that he was supposed to have loved and protected his daughter, but instead took her life and turned into a habitual liar.
Murder is the worst kind of theft, because it is something that cant be returned, a weeping Harmon said in his impact statement before Justice Mullen, remembering his daughter telling him: I love you, Daddy.
This I will always know. She loved me and I loved her, Sarajean said in a statement read by victim advocate Joanna Stokinger, noting Valerie Tieman had stepped into heaven the minute the first shot had struck her.
The heartache and grief are real, she said, adding that she was overwhelmed with disgust at what an evil-hearted man Luc Tieman was.
