NYC terrorist sentenced to life in prison after emotional victim testimonies.
TL;DR
Sayfullo Saipov, the ISIS-inspired attacker who killed eight people in a truck attack in Manhattan in 2017, has been sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences. The Uzbekistan native was spared the death penalty after jurors deadlocked on sentencing for the nine charges he faced that were eligible for capital punishment. Survivors of the attack and families of those killed delivered heart-wrenching statements to the court before the sentencing. Saipov will spend at least 22 hours a day alone in his cell at ADX in Florence, Colorado, following his sentencing.
