NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for a man charged with killing eight people when he drove his truck onto a New York City bike path say the death penalty should be ruled out because President Donald Trump was “uninformed and full or rage” when he called for it.

The lawyers filed papers Tuesday in federal court on behalf of Sayfullo Saipov (sy-foo-LOH’ sah-YEE’-pawf).

Put the pig fornicator in general population.Within hours there’ll be no need for a trial.

[Nateman]

Force feed him pork until he dies, then bury his bits in a pond of pig poop.

[Hugh the Scot]

Good thing the murderer doesn’t get to decide what the punishment should be.

[Huskrrrr]

Let the families of the victims decide.

Non issue in New York. Part of the Democrat voting bloc.

[Secret Agent Man]

Denied.

[Sasparilla]

Maybe the jury will be enraged about a vicious, sadistic attack on their City streets.

Ok this is new...was this a case of Sudden Jihadi Syndrome deliberately hitting the crowd or a mess of a truck that never should have been allowed on the road careening into people?

[jazusamo]

The former.

Hey, the lawyers got their name out there, and that was the goal. The rest is noise.

The guy …...

[Reily]

Then the state & the county share some of the responsibility!

Last execution in NY was 1963, I think.
The suspect has nothing to worry about.
His lawyers are just posturing.

Man charged in NY bike path killings speaks in court of ‘Allah’

excerpt:

"Speaking through an interpreter for about 10 minutes, Saipov said the decisions of a US court were unimportant to him. He said he cared about “Allah” and the holy war being waged by the Islamic State."

At the prompting of Assistant US Attorney Amanda Houle, Broderick interrupted Saipov to read him his rights, including that anything he said in court could be used against him.

“I understand you, but I’m not worried about that at all,” Saipov said.

“So the Islamic State is not fighting for land, like some say, or like some say, for oil. They have one purpose, and they’re fighting to impose Sharia (Islamic law) on earth,” he said.

“Lawyers Fight To Death”

What a letdown.

So how long until some left wing Demscum New York judge gives him bail or otherwise let’s him walk?
