Heart-wrenching victim statements delivered at sentencing for NYC truck terror attacker
Saipov was convicted in January of all 28 counts he faced in connection with carrying out the deadly attack along a Manhattan bike path with a rented Home Depot truck.
The judge scolded Saipov for his indiscriminate killing, which he said left their families forever scarred.Ahead of the judge's sentencing, survivors of the attack and families of those killed delivered heart-wrenching statements to the court as Saipov sat at the defense table in a navy smock, full beard and glasses.
"I am a mother subsumed by grief," Missio told the court."I'm going to grieve for Nicholas for the rest of my life because my love for him is endless." Hernan Mendoza was one of five friends from Argentina who were celebrating the 30th anniversary of their high school graduation in New York when they were killed in the attack. His widow, Ana Evans, could not make it to court in person so submitted a statement in writing:"I can only think of Hernan and our children, who can never again exchange glances, gestures, smiles or signs of support with their father. Equally incredible and terrifying is the disaster that a single person can cause.
