Sayfullo Saipov was given 10 life sentences and another 260 years in prison for killing eight people with a truck on a bike path in Manhattan.
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. U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick announced the sentence Wednesday after Sayfullo Saipov spoke. Saipov said the tears of his victims and families of those who died are small compared to the tears and blood of followers of Islam killed unjustly.
Frank Decadt, father of victim Ann-Laure Decadt, told Saipov that he hoped that "one day you will understand the extent of horror you have inflicted on so many people." As Saipov kept his head drooped and eyes lowered, listening to a translation of the proceedings through earphones, she said: "I have a question for you. After all this time in prison, are you still convinced that your criminal acts against innocent people was the right thing?"Prosecutors urged Broderick to impose a sentence of eight consecutive life sentences — one for each death — and an additional 260 years in prison, according to a presentence submission.
The judge followed the prosecution’s recommendation, imposing eight consecutive life sentences and two to run concurrently, though the practical effect of a single life sentence is the same since there is no parole.
