Death penalty raps
THE MAN WHO killed eight people in a lower Manhattan terrorist attack has been charged in a 22-count indictment, officials said Tuesday. Sayfullo Saipov, 29, faces eight counts of murder in aid of racketeering in the gruesome truck attack along a bike path on Halloween. He was also charged with 12 counts of attempted murder in aid of racketeering, and one count of providing and attempting to provide material support to ISIS. He could face the death penalty for nine of the counts. Following his arrest, an unrepentant Saipov (photo) asked that the ISIS flag be displayed in his hospital room, according to court documents. Saipov is due in court on Nov. 28, officials said.
