BREAKING NEWS: A man who killed eight people with a truck in a 2017 Halloween attack was convicted of 28 federal crimes. MORE:
The jury announced its verdict in a Manhattan courtroom just a few blocks from where Saipov's attack ended.
He emerged from his truck yelling "God is great," in Arabic, with pellet and paintball guns in his hands before he was shot by a police officer who thought the guns were real firearms. The defense asked jurors to acquit Saipov of racketeering charges, saying he intended to die a martyr and was not conspiring with the Islamic State organization, despite voluminous amounts of propaganda from the group found on his electronic devices and at his home.
Prosecutors said Saipov attacked civilians to impress the Islamic State group so he could become a member and appeared pleased with his work, smiling when he spoke to an FBI agent afterward.
