Uzbek National Gets Life In Prison For New York Bike Path Attack That Killed Eight

Sayfullo Saipov, the man convicted of killing eight people in an attack on a Manhattan bike path in 2017, was spared the death penalty after a federal jury on March 13 deadlocked on how he should be punished. The deadlock means Saipov will be sentenced to life in prison without parole. He will spend his sentence at Colorado's Supermax facility, the most secure U.S. federal prison. Saipov, a 35-year-old Uzbek national, was convicted in January of committing murder with a goal of joining Islamic State, which the United States has designated a terrorist organization.
