Breaking news: The man convicted of killing eight people by driving a truck on a New York City bike path in 2017 will serve life in prison as punishment, after a federal jury could not reach a unanimous decision on whether to sentence him to death.
The jury in the death penalty phase of the federal case against Sayfullo Saipov, who was convicted of the killings in January, had heard emotional testimony from relatives of victims and survivors at U.S District Court in Manhattan.
“It is not necessary to kill [Saipov]. Not for our safety or anyone else’s and not do to justice,” his attorney David Patton said in closing statements last week. “We’re asking you to decide that meeting death with more death is not the answer.” Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Houle in her closing statement detailed the “unbearable pain” suffered by families victimized in the attack.
