The same jury convicted Sayfullo Saipov of driving a truck down a Manhattan bike path in an ISIS-inspired terror attack that killed eight people.
The jury will decide if Sayfullo Saipov should get the death penalty for murdering 8 people on a New York City bike path in 2017.A U.S. prosecutor displayed grisly crime-scene photos as he urged a jury to impose the death penalty on a "proud terrorist" who killed eight people in a vehicle attack in New York City in 2017, while defense lawyers insisted death was not the answer.
She reminded jurors of the horror of the day by showing them gory pictures of the dead, some with clothing torn away, and by reminding them of the tearful testimony of their family members and some of the 18 individuals who suffered injuries but survived.The images affected one man sitting among families of the victims so strongly that he appeared to lose consciousness, leading the judge to interrupt Houle's closing long enough for an ambulance to be summoned.
In his closing to the same federal jury that convicted Saipov in January, defense lawyer Patton said a death sentence was not necessary, especially since a decision against death would mean his client would spend of the rest of life in extreme isolation at the nation's most secure federal prison in Florence, Colorado.
Houle said the death penalty was appropriate because of choices made in planning the attack and carrying it out, "choices of Sayfullo Saipov, a proud terrorist."
