SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 10 – Sayfullo Saipov has
been facing a trial that may
result in the death penalty
for killing eight people with
a van along the West Side
Highway.
On May 4
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Vernon S. Broderick held
a conference on the case and
Inner City Press live tweet it
here
and below.
On Columbus Day,
October 10,
2022 - the day
before jury
selection - Saipov's
Federal
Defenders
filed a motion to
stay the
proceedings,
based on racial
disparities in the
jury pool, including
the exclusion
of "inactive" voters. Will
Judge
Broderick
grant it?
Watch this
site.
On
September 16,
this from
the prosecutors:
"Re: United
States v.
Sayfullo
Habibullaevic
Saipov, S1 17
Cr. 722 (VSB)
Dear Judge
Broderick: The
Court has
previously
requested
updates on the
status of the
defendant’s
request to the
Attorney
General to
withdraw the
Notice of
Intent to Seek
the Death
Penalty in
this case.
(Dkt. No. 80).
We were
notified today
that the
Attorney
General has
decided to
continue to
seek the death
penalty. We
conveyed this
decision to
defense
counsel and
the victims."

This
comes days
before the UN
General
Assembly week,
on a day US
Ambassador to
the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield
said the Biden
administration
is all about
promoting UN
principles.
But those
include no
death penalty.
And USUN
has done nothing
to stop the UN
from banning
Press. We'll
have more on
this.
