US prosecutors seek death penalty for Uzbek immigrant in New York killings
U.S. prosecutors said they are seeking the death penalty in the trial of an Uzbek immigrant accused of mowing down eight people with a truck on a New York City bike path last year.
The death penalty was called for in documents on the case of Sayfullo Saipov, 30, who is charged with driving a rented pickup truck down a crowded bike path in Manhattan, not far from where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood.
The attack on October 31, 2017 was the deadliest in New York since the September 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda hijackings that brought down the twin towers.
Saipov’s attorneys in earlier court proceedings indicated he was willing to plead guilty if prosecutors did not seek the death penalty — something that U.S. President Donald Trump repeatedly advocated in the days following the attack.
Responding to the prosecution’s decision on September 28, Saipov attorney David Patton said: “We think the decision to seek the death penalty rather than accepting a guilty plea to life in prison with no possibility of release will only prolong the trauma of these events for everyone involved.”
Prosecutors said that they decided to seek the death penalty because of the multitude of victims and the “heinous, cruel, and depraved manner” of their killings, because Saipov showed no remorse, and because they believe he is likely to commit further violence if set free in the future.
This is the same jihadist who demanded an ISIS flag be hung in his hospital’s recovery room; ISIS later claimed him as a “soldier” of its so-called caliphate. Prosecutors say he had planned the attack to be carried it out on Halloween Day, because he believed the crowds outdoors would give him the opportunity to kill more people.

Try him, convict him, HANG him after his torso is slathered in lard and bury his remains wrapped in pig skin!
Why even bother with a trial. He did it, no doubt. The rest, yeah, I’m good with that punishment. Or maybe wrapped in bacon and slow roasted over a dried pig shit fire.
What I don’t get from this is the Uzbek’s I met when I monitored an election in the Kyrgyz Republic in Aravan which is right on the Uzbek border, were very nice people. The Kyrgyz had murdered about 350 of them and ran another 300,000 across the border then burnt some houses and business. You would think this man would want to kill Kyrgyz’s rather than Americans who obviously befriended him. I disagree Proud Infidel(R)tm, death by Bunga-Bunga is the appropriate method. As an aside, the Uzbek women I met at the poll were tall, attractive enough and had more gold in their dental work than my F-150 cost.
CM, I believe the proper term is Death by Bongo Bongo! And I do believe it is extremely nessecary in this case!
Thank you Wilted for getting me on the straight and narrow if Bongo Bongo involves a well hung warrior and the perp being bent over a fallen log.
Wilted, death by Bongo drums must be a long and painful process. Likely it would violate the 8th Amendment.
Try, convict, then feed him to the Chinaman’s pigs.
Swearengen…COCKSUCKA!!!
The NYC jury will probably acquit the SOB and blame everything on Trump because Trump bashed his religion or sumpthin. Y’all remember Kate Steinle’s murderer? (Is this even SARC anymore?)
Killing him is too good for him.
Agree. Death and martyrdom is what he wants.
Tie his arms behind him, stand him on the edge of a roof of a 10 story building. Tie a cinder block to his junk with a string 8 stories long… throw the block off the roof…
I’m wonder if feinstein and her dem/liberal crew will try and get a voting card for him to be a member of the dem voting bloc along with ms 13 and their ilk.
I swear I have no recollection of this attack. None. Cripes.
I only remember the Home Depot rental truck. Thankfully I did not commit this vile filth’s name to memory.
You people are so cruel to this person and his country. I say life in prison and no parole and eggs fried in bacon grease and bacon daily for breakfast, menu diet of pork chops, pork steaks, barbecue pork or other pork recipes for diner or supper and all side dishes fried on pork fat and any other items covered in pork fat for rest of his life, force fed if needed.
As to the country, we need to furnish all the help they need with the exception of gloves in any form. Munitions and arms and auto’s boats thoroughly cleaned and soaked it pork fat to preserve them. Fertilizer made from pork renderings for their crops, crop dusters to spray for enrichment of crops and insect suppression in the cities. We should have a lot of old crop dusters we can use (I believe our old agent orange C-123’s can be converted) to spray liquidized hog fat throughout the country. Hopefully then we wouldn’t have to use our forces and we would make those folks happy for our help.
Too bad he’s not in Texas. The New York version of the death penalty is natural death of old age after taking any and all desperate measures to keep his sorry ass alive.
