He could have gone down to Post Office to pick it up. His middle name is Raekwon - Viral
COLUMBIA, S.C. - A man was sentenced to life in prison Thursday after being convicted of killing a mail carrier who instead of delivering a large package of marijuana to his home left a note in the mailbox requiring him to come to a South Carolina post office to pick it up. Trevor Raekwon Seward, 25, was found guilty of murder of a federal employee in the course of her duties and other crimes in the September 2019 shooting of 64-year-old Irene Pressley as she delivered mail in rural Williamsburg County, federal prosecutors said.
After finding the note in his mailbox instead of the 2-pound package of marijuana from California he was expecting, Seward confronted Pressley a few minutes later demanding his package. The U.S. Postal Service mail carrier refused, according to court documents.
Seward then got a semi-automatic rifle and waited for Pressley to come down a street in Andrews, firing about 20 times into the back of her mail truck, prosecutors said.
Several bullets hit Pressley. Seward then drove the mail truck into a ditch on an access road at a hunting club, searched through it to try to find his marijuana and anything else valuable, and then left the Pressley's body in her truck, prosecutors said.
The marijuana package was later found on the street where Pressley was killed, according to court records.
In court, Pressley's sister blamed Seward for the death of 97-year-old father.
"He gave up, because you took his daughter's life," Elisha Hubbard said according to WPDE-TV, during Thursday's sentencing hearing, adding that he loved the treats that Irene Pressley would bring him every day.
Seward listened carefully to Pressley's family as they spoke at the hearing and stood up when the judge asked him if he wanted to speak.
Seward then said he didn't "want to cause any more confusion. I don't have anything to say, " the TV station reported.
The co-defendant who helped Seward look for the mail carrier was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Jerome Terrell Davis, 31, pleaded guilty to robbery and conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute and to distribute marijuana, prosecutors said.
The value of the marijuana in the package was minimal.

The package is in the truck, but you have to come and sign for it.

I'm having difficulty understand why anyone would feel the need to post the guy's middle name? Like, yes, this is a tragedy, but like, what is the point of mentioning what the dude's middle name is?

Killing someone over weed is fucked. Imagine how stupid you'd have to be to do that.
Dude could have just gone down to the post office and shouted "where the fuck is my weed?!" and they probably would have given it to him.

I don't see this as a winning strategy but shed no tears over someone committing acts of piracy.

He was supposed to claim it, formally.
Otherwise, some stranger might have sent it to the wrong address.
Signing for the suspicious package would have been an admission of "guilt".

Signing for drug packages doesn't actually result in anything, that's a long standing myth. If they're going to do a controlled delivery, they don't care about the signature, they just want you to have it in your possession. Once you have it in your possession, that's all that matters. They don't care about the signature at all, and it doesn't even come up during trial. What does come up is the fact that it was in your possession when you got busted, which is all that matters believe it or not. Sure, you could try to claim someone else mailed you drugs, but no jury is going to buy that and everyone knows it.
If they ask you to sign for it, it's because you need to sign for it like any package. You have to sign for packages all the time, it's common. I must have signed for 10 different drug packages, all in person at the post office with my real name and address on the box, never had an issue.
If they're going to do a controlled delivery, they don't make you come to the post office, and they don't make you sign for it. They just drop it off and watch, waiting for you to pick it up. Or they just hand it to you, no signature required.
Another reason they don't make you come to the post office: they want it in your home so they can get a search warrant for your house.
Also my post was supposed to be a joke, but he seriously should have just gone down and signed for his package like a normal person.

Our special, finest, model citizens are counting on qualified immunity on simpler terms than we are both using, here.
He's clearly using entrapping language, holding the package, saying come and get it.
