Federal prosecutors want death penalty for New York bike path killer

Sayfullo Saipov, 35, was convicted of federal crimes in January.

On Oct. 30, 2017, Saipov drove across the George Washington Bridge from New Jersey in a Home Depot rental van. He later drove onto a West Side bike path and mowed down almost a dozen pedestrians and cyclists.

If the jury passes on the death penalty, Saipov will automatically be sentenced to life without parole. The terrorist’s legal eagles argued that Saipov should be let off the hook because the feds didn’t seek the death penalty for Patrick Crusius. Crusius slaughtered 23 people in a shooting rampage in El Paso, Texas. Ergo, Saipov is being discriminated against because of his ethnic background.
