NEW YORK — Sayfullo Saipov, the Uzbekistan native who planned and carried out a 2017 ISIS-inspired terror attack on the west side of Manhattan, deserves multiple life sentences"to provide just punishment" for killing eight people, federal prosecutors said Monday in a sentencing memorandum to the judge.
"The defendant's conduct before, during and after his attack warrants a sentence that reflects the extraordinary depravity of his crimes. The government respectfully requests that the court impose the maximum statutory penalty on each count of conviction," prosecutors said in the sentencing memorandum.
The defense conceded that the grief of the victims' families"was entirely caused by Sayfullo Saipov," but defense attorney David Patton argued it was not necessary to kill him,"not for our safety or anyone else's and not to do justice."
