A split among jurors in the United States has resulted in no death penalty for an Uzbekistan man accused of intentionally racing a truck along a popular New York City bike path, killing eight people and maiming others.
The deadlock means Sayfullo Saipov, a 35-year-old who lived in New Jersey, gets an automatic sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole for the October 2017 attack. A federal jury told the judge on Monday that they were unable to reach the unanimous verdict required for a death sentence.
