BREAKING: Jury finds Sayfullo Saipov guilty in 2017 NYC truck terror attack

The case could result in the death penalty, but a death sentence would need to be unanimously chosen by jurors.Sayfullo Saipov, an Uzbek native who drove a rented truck down a Manhattan bike path adjacent to the Hudson River in an ISIS-inspired terror attack that killed eight people, was convicted Thursday by a federal court jury of murder and attempted murder in order to gain entry to ISIS, making him eligible for the death penalty.

The jury reached its verdict after about six hours of deliberations over two days. Jurors sent several notes that indicated some confusion about the charges but came to a unanimous verdict on the 11th day of the trial.
