LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) - A Tulsa, Oklahoma man who ambushed and killed a woman and her 4-year-old daughter in an unprovoked attack on a Long Beach, California, street will spend life in prison.
Twenty-three-year-old Brandon Colbert Jr. was sentenced to two life terms without parole on Friday. A judge said he’s shown no “respect, sorrow nor remorse.”
The hearing was disrupted when Colbert, who has a history of mental illness, tried to leave court, saying he didn’t want to stay for victim impact statements. Three bailiffs tackled him and he was strapped to a chair.
