NYC bike path terrorist who killed eight defends ISIS and invokes ‘Allah’ at court hearing
"The man who drove a truck onto a crowded New York City sidewalk killing eight people and injuring a dozen more defended ISIS and invoked “Allah” during a court hearing over the weekend.
A U.S. District Judge has set his trial date for Oct. 7, nearly two years after the deadly attack, CBS News reported....
In his most recent court appearance, Saipov said that the prosecutors’ decisions during his trial were unimportant to him and that he cared only about “Allah” and the holy war being waged by ISIS....
Saipov went on for about 10 minutes using a translator, during which time Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Beaty called on the judge to stop Saipov’s “terrorist propaganda” comments.
The judge allowed Saipov to finish and declared that the man likely would not be allowed to speak out in court again....
Saipov said during an earlier court appearance that he may plead guilty to all counts and seek a life sentence instead of the death penalty."
