NYC Bike Path Terrorist Receives 8 Consecutive Life Sentences for 2017 Attack.

Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic extremist who drove a rented truck into pedestrians and cyclists on a New York City bike path in 2017, was sentenced to eight consecutive life sentences after he spoke for nearly an hour to defend his actions. Prior to the sentence, Saipov spoke in Uzbek via a translator for nearly an hour about the history of Islam and offered a justification of his crimes, showing no indication of remorse. With eight dead and over a dozen injured, it was the deadliest terrorist attack in New York City since September 11, 2001.
