NYC bike path terrorist faces sentencing and victim testimonies.
TL;DR Summary
Sayfullo Saipov, the West Side Highway terrorist who killed eight people and injured many more in an ISIS-inspired attack in 2017, is set to receive life imprisonment without parole at his sentencing. More than two dozen victims are expected to speak about the impact of the attack on their lives. Prosecutors have asked the judge to run eight life sentences consecutively, resulting in a 260-year prison term, citing the "extraordinary depravity" of Saipov's crimes. Saipov remains committed to ISIS and has been violent in prison, including threatening to behead corrections officers.
