MOBILE, Alabama – Kenneth Colburn was sentenced to Life Without the Possibility of Parole, announces Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood.
This morning when Kenneth Colburn’s trial was to begin, Colburn pled guilty to the Intentional Murder of Tammy Wedgeworth and was sentenced to Life Without the Possibility of Parole.
At a party on January 1, 2022, victim Tammy Wedgeworth offered Kenneth Colburn a ride home. During the ride home, from the passenger side of the Wedgeworth’s truck, Colburn pulled out a gun in attempt to rob her of her vehicle and shot her multiple times. Colburn then left Tammy Wedgeworth in a ditch on Eliza Jordan Road underneath a piece of plywood.
“This was a horrific act of violence committed by the defendant,” said Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood. “Kenneth Colburn will spend the rest of his life in prison because of his cold-hearted actions on January 1, 2022.”
The State was represented by Assistant District Attorneys Madison Davis and Stuart Lang as well as Trial Coordinator Amanda Sumrall.
