Life sentences handed down for murder of mail carrier in marijuana package dispute.

A man in South Carolina has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a mail carrier who refused to deliver a package of marijuana to his home. Trevor Raekwon Seward was found guilty of murder of a federal employee and other crimes in the September 2019 shooting of 64-year-old Irene Pressley. After finding a note in his mailbox instead of the 2-pound package of marijuana he was expecting, Seward confronted Pressley and then shot her with a semi-automatic rifle. The co-defendant who helped Seward look for the mail carrier was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
