NYC truck and bike-path attacker sentenced to multiple life sentences.

Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic State supporter, has been sentenced to 10 life sentences plus 260 years for killing eight people in a truck attack in New York in 2017. The Uzbekistan national used a rented truck to attack pedestrians and cyclists at random on Manhattan's West Side, shouting "God is great" in Arabic. He hoped the atrocity would earn him membership of the group. Saipov was spared the death penalty when a jury did not unanimously agree to impose one at a hearing last week.

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.

NYC bike path terrorist sentenced to 8 consecutive life terms.

Sayfullo Saipov, the perpetrator of the 2017 West Side Highway terrorist attack in New York City, was sentenced to eight life sentences and an additional 260 years behind bars. Before the sentencing, Saipov went on an hour-long rant insinuating that the tears of his victims pale in comparison to the blood and tears of the Muslim people. The judge called Saipov's conduct among the worst he had ever seen, and the victims' families and friends spoke for over two hours about the horrors they endured. Saipov was convicted of killing eight people and injuring many more by mowing down crowds with a Home Depot rental truck on a Manhattan bike path.

NYC bike path terrorist faces sentencing and victim testimonies.

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.
