Sayfullo Saipov, an Islamic extremist who drove a truck along a popular bike path in 2017, killing eight people, will not face the death penalty after a jury in New York City was unable to reach a unanimous verdict. The jury deliberated for four days before deciding that Saipov, a 35-year-old Uzbekistan citizen, will receive an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. Saipov's lawyers argued that he was mentally ill and had been radicalized by ISIS propaganda, while prosecutors argued that he was a cold-blooded killer who had planned the attack for months.
