SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Feb 27 - Sayfullo Saipov after
being found guilty on 28
counts now faces a penalty
phase that may result in the
death penalty for killing
eight people with a van along
the West Side Highway.
On May 4,
2022 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
tweeted it
here.
On January
26, Saipov was
found guilty
on all counts,
after jury
questions
about whether
he did it to
join or
advance
himself in
ISIS or not.
That will be a major
issues, along
with any
mitigation, in
the penalty
phase.
But
in the penalty phase, on
February 21 members
of the
media were not
allowed into
the courtroom,
only to elsewhere in
the courtroom
where a feed
shows only
part of
the courtroom.
Inner City Press,
the first of many
media in
opposition,
wrote to Judge
Broderick,
here
Here's from
the day's
testimony,
after which
Judge
Broderick said
the press
can have a bench in the
back, thread here.
On February 22, there was a single witness, about
ADX Florence.
Thread here.
On Monday, February 27, Judge Broderick
docketed: "ORDER as to Sayfullo
Habibullaevic Saipov. In accordance with
my request on February 3, February 14, and
February 23, 2023, it is hereby ORDERED
that by end of day on Tuesday, February
28, 2023, the Defense provide me with the
number of people in the following
categories for each year beginning with
2018 through the present who have worked
on this case: - Lawyers; - Volunteer
attorneys; - Other, non-legal volunteers;
- Paralegals. As I indicated on the
record, I am only asking for the number of
individuals and not any names. If the
Defense believes this information is
attorney work product or otherwise
confidential, Defense may file a redacted
version of this list on the docket." Why
would the number of Defenders be
confidential?
Inner City
Press will
stay on the case.
The
case is US v.

17-cr-722
