 Sayfullo Saipov, who killed eight people in a 2017 terrorist truck attack on a Hudson River bike path, has been sentenced to life in prison after a Manhattan federal jury deadlocked as they decided his fate. On Monday, jurors told Judge Vernon S. Broderick that they could not agree on whether to impose the death penalty, as the government had sought. Under the law, a unanimous verdict was required for capital punishment. The verdict followed a two-month trial during which Mr. Saipov, 35, was convicted on Jan. 26 of all 28 counts he faced, including nine that carried a maximum sentence of death. The trial was the first federal death penalty trial during the administration of President Biden, who had campaigned against capital punishment. Prosecutors, in seeking the death penalty, had cited such factors as Mr. Saipov’s premeditation and planning, his lack of remorse, the danger they said he would pose in prison and that he carried out the attack to further the ideological goals of the Islamic State. The last state execution was in 1963 in New York, where executions are even rarer, and the last federal executions were in the early 1950s. The families of the slain victims and those who survived the attack “Their pain and grief endures,” Damian Williams, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.
