An Islamic extremist was given 10 life sentences and another 260 years in prison for killing eight people with a truck on a bike path in Manhattan
In this courtroom sketch, in federal court in New York, Wednesday, May 17, 2023, Sayfullo Saipov, center, is flanked by his attorneys, David M. Stern, left, and federal Defender Andrew John Dalack, right, during victim impact statements in the sentencing phase of his trial. Saipov, an Islamic extremist who killed eight in a New York bike path attack, was convicted of federal crimes, Jan. 26 2023.
Relatives of eight people killed in the Halloween terror attack spoke sometimes through tears during the sentencing, describing their lingering pain and sometimes directly addressing the man convicted in the deaths. Marion Van Reeth, who lost her legs in the attack, sat before Saipov in her wheelchair, telling him: “I will never be able to walk like you can.”
"Saipov is an unabashed terrorist — a proud murderer who deserves no leniency and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law," prosecutors wrote.
