Relatives of eight people killed in a Halloween terror attack on a New York City bike path described their continuing pain during a sentencing hearing for an Islamic extremist who prosecutors say deserves multiple life sentences. One mother said her son's death has completely destroyed her life. The statements came at the sentencing Wednesday of Sayfullo Saipov in Manhattan federal court. In March, a jury rejected the death penalty for the Uzbekistan citizen and onetime New Jersey resident. A life sentence is mandatory. Prosecutors are seeking eight consecutive life sentences for Saipov and an additional 260 years in prison, calling him a “proud murderer.”
