The families of those killed in a 2017 terror attack in NYC delivered statements ahead of the sentencing of Sayfullo Saipov, the ISIS-inspired attacker who was convicted of killing eight people.
In this Nov. 1, 2017, file photo, investigators work around the wreckage of a Home Depot pickup truck a day after it was used in a terror attack in New York.The surviving victims and families of those killed in a 2017 terror attack in New York City delivered heart-wrenching statements Wednesday ahead of the sentencing of Sayfullo Saipov, the ISIS-inspired attacker who was convicted of killing eight people earlier this year.
"Are you still convinced that your cruel act against innocent people was the right thing? Do you still see yourself as a soldier for ISIS?" she asked. "I really hope over time you will be able to rethink your beliefs."Monica Missio's son, Nicholas Cleves, was the last of the eight people killed when Saipov sped down a Hudson River bike path in the truck.
"People witnessed him getting struck and catapulted into the air," Missio said. "I am haunted by the brutal way Nicholas died."Cleves' aunt, Nicole Missio, called Saipov and his attack evil. The wife of Alejandro Pagnucco, another Argentinian killed in the attack, castigated Saipov for keeping his neck bent and eyes down during victim impact statements.
"Mr. Saipov, you drove that truck into my beloved daughter and you killed her," he said. "Why, Mr. Saipov? Why did you do this to her?"Federal prosecutors argued in a sentencing memorandum to the judge this week that Saipov deserved multiple life sentences "to provide just punishment" for the Oct. 31, 2017, attack.
