MAN WHO KILLED 8 IN NYC TERRORIST ATTACK GETS 10 LIFE SENTENCES PLUS 260 YEARS

in a New York bike path attack, was convicted of federal crimes, Jan. 26 2023.

NEW YORK (AP) — An unrepentant and defiant Islamic extremist received 10 life
sentences and another 260 years in prison on Wednesday for killing eight people
with a truck on a bike path in Manhattan on Halloween in 2017, as a judge
decried his “callous and cowardly” crimes.

“The conduct in this case is among the worst, if not the worst I’ve ever seen,”
said U.S. District Judge Vernon S. Broderick, as he announced a sentence
designed to underscore the severity of the terrorist attack Sayfullo Saipov
claimed he carried out on behalf of the Islamic State group.

A life sentence was mandatory after a jury rejected the death penalty in March,
but prosecutors had asked Broderick to impose eight consecutive life sentences
and two concurrent life sentences. They also wanted an extra 260 years to send a
stern message to other like-minded terrorists. And that’s what the judge did.

Broderick cited the defiance of Saipov, who, given a chance to speak, said the
tears of victims and family members in the courtroom during the six months of
the trial would fill a single tissue. But, Saipov said, the tears and blood of
followers of Islam killed unjustly worldwide would fill the courtroom.

In a rambling rant delivered through a translator, Saipov spent most of an hour
talking about the creation of religions and how the devil was instrumental in
the evolution of the human population.

When he finished, a female victim’s relative briefly stood, shouting: “The only
act of the devil here is the act you did!”

“You did not and you do not care about their pain and their suffering,” the
judge said to Saipov about the victims. He noted that even Saipov’s relatives,
including his father, were ashamed and “traumatized and forever changed.”

Saipov, 35, an Uzbekistan citizen and onetime New Jersey resident, was expected
to serve his sentence at the maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado, for
his Oct. 31, 2017, slaughter of tourists and a New Yorker.

His head was drooped and eyes were lowered as 19 victims and relatives of the
people killed in the terror attack spoke sometimes through tears, describing
lingering pain and occasionally directly addressing him.

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.”

“Only a monster can do what you did,” said Vanesa Erlij Wittenberg, calling her
deceased brother an “amazing person.”

“You, on the contrary, are a shame to your family and especially your kids,” she
said.

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.”

As Saipov listened 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?”

Like others, she wished that someday Saipov would realize he was wrong.

Gabriela Pabla Pereya, the wife of Ariel Erlij, who was among five men from
Argentina killed during a bike ride as they celebrated the 30th anniversary of
their high school graduation, delivered the shortest statement. She called
Saipov a coward and said if he truly wanted God “to accept and love you, go kill
yourself.”

Monica Missio, whose only child, Nicholas Cleves was killed, told Saipov his
death “has completely destroyed my life.”

His conviction “brought a small sense of justice, but for me there is no sense
of closure,” she said.

“He gets to wake up every day while my son does not,” Missio said.

After they spoke, Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Houle called the attack “pure
evil” and showed a recent photograph of the victims after they returned to the
bike path with photographs of the dead.

“They are reclaiming that crime scene. They are shouting that they are stronger
together,” she said. “Their capacity for love and compassion is remarkable.”

After the sentencing, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland said in a statement
that the Justice Department will “continue to vigorously defend the American
people from threats of terrorism and will work tirelessly to bring those who
perpetrate terrorist attacks to justice.”

Five tourists from Argentina, two Americans and a Belgian woman were killed, and
18 others were seriously injured.

Saipov was shot by a police officer and immediately taken into custody after
emerging from his truck shouting “God is great” in Arabic and waving paintball
and pellet guns in the air.

Prosecutors said he smiled while asking FBI agents questioning him in a hospital
room after the attack if they could hang an Islamic State group flag on the
walls.

At trial, his family urged a life sentence, saying they hoped he’d someday
realize what he’d done and express remorse. They said he was normal before he
grew obsessed with online terrorism propaganda.

A former long-haul truck driver, Saipov moved legally to the U.S. from
Uzbekistan in 2010 and lived in Ohio and Florida before joining his family in
Paterson, New Jersey.

Among those who attended the sentencing was the trial’s jury foreperson, John
Francis Patrick III. He said jurors initially favored the death penalty but “we
felt another death will not help this matter at all. Better that this defendant
know the pain of what living is.”

He said emotional testimony in the trial and the gruesome crime made it hard to
be a juror, but he also cited an act of love when Van Reeth awoke in the
hospital 10 days after she was struck to learn both her legs were missing.

“And the first thing she said was: ‘Is my husband ok?’”
