NEW YORK - The mother of a New Yorker killed in 2017 when a man used a truck to mow down cyclists and pedestrians on a crowded bike path told a hushed courtroom on Wednesday that no punishment meted out to the attacker could compare to her pain.
Missio was among the 25 victims and family members of those who died in the attack who were scheduled to speak before US District Judge Vernon Broderick formally metes out a sentence of life without parole to 35-year-old Saipov. That sentence became automatic in the case after a jury deadlocked on whether Saipov should receive the death penalty.
Many of the people killed or injured were foreign nationals visiting the most populous US city. Most of the people scheduled to speak at the hearing are traveling from Argentina and Belgium. “Their voices will never be heard again,” Martinez said, referring to her late husband and the other victims. “We will continue to raise our voices, and we will continue to work, in order to achieve a world that is free of terrorist attacks.”
