U.S. v. Saipov -- Life Sentence

Sayfullo Saipov, who the jury had convicted of killing eight people in an attack on a Manhattan bike path in 2017, was spared the death penalty on Monday, March 13th, after a federal jury deadlocked on whether he should be executed. The trial was the first federal death penalty trial during the administration of President Biden, who had campaigned against capital punishment.  The jurors, as the judge  had instructed, did not reveal how they were split, so it was not possible to know how many voted for execution and how many favored a life sentence.
