Jury to mull death penalty for Manhattan bike path killer Sayfullo Saipov

MANHATTAN (PIX11) — The federal jury that convicted Sayfullo Saipov of intentionally mowing down bicyclists and pedestrians with a truck on Halloween Day 2017 will start the death penalty phase of his trial Monday.

Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York will push for Saipov, an Uzbek immigrant, to be put to death by lethal injection for an act of terror they said was carried out in the name of ISIS.
