Ahead of the sentencing, National Association of Letter Carriers Branch 43 President Ted Thompson gave a victim impact statement for the worker he said was still traumatized by the armed robbery more than a year later.

“It’s been awhile since we started to get these crimes against letter carriers prosecuted in federal court, so I’m gratified that this is starting to happen,” Thompson said.

Thompson said the long sentence was a message to letter carriers that they’d be protected and a message to would-be criminals that the court would hold them accountable.
