NEW YORK — Sayfullo Saipov dreamed of martyrdom and being greeted by 72 maidens in the afterlife — he’s getting a prison sentence instead.
Saipov was found guilty Thursday of all 28 counts in Manhattan Federal Court of massacring eight people on the Hudson River Park bike path in a Halloween horror nearly five years ago.
Jurors took less than a day to decide Saipov’s fate after hearing two weeks of testimony about the gruesome attack that also seriously injured 11 people.
