A federal judge has barred the public and media from a courtroom where defense lawyers say emotional testimony from victims has spoiled the death penalty trial of a man who admits killing eight people on a bike path on behalf of a terrorist group.
FILE A damaged Home Depot truck remains on the scene, Nov. 1, 2017, after the driver mowed down people on a riverfront bike path near the World Trade Center on Tuesday, in New York. A federal judge barred the general public and media from a courtroom Tuesday, Feb. 21, 2023, where defense lawyers claim emotional testimony from victims has spoiled the death penalty phase of the trial of Sayfullo Saipov who admits that he killed eight people on a bike path on behalf of a terrorist group.
After hearing witnesses over what is expected to be a two-week period, the jury that convicted him will decidein prison. If any of them vote against death, he will automatically serve life in prison. Their reactions, along with those of witnesses, grew in relevance after defense lawyers argued Friday in court papers that a mistrial should be declared because the volume of emotional testimony seems designed to make jurors choose a death sentence out of anger or spite or to prevent Saipov from communicating with his children, since those he killed can no longer speak with theirs.
